Signs You Have a Burst Pipe
If you see water pouring out from under a cabinet or other area, obviously, you have a problem. But if a pipe bursts inside the wall or under the floor, you may not notice it right away. Signs that you have water leaking out include:
- Peeling paint
- Loose floor tiles
- Water spots
- Curling vinyl
If left unattended, standing water can cause mold and mildew to develop. Then you have even more of a problem. If you think you have any water loss, don’t hesitate to call A-List Plumbing. We can trace the source and fix the problem.
Preventing Burst Pipes
Burst pipes happen most often during the winter. The pipes freeze and the water expands. There are things you can do to help prevent that from happening.
- When the temperature drops below freezing, allow your faucet to run, especially at night, slowly.
- Seal leaks that let cold air into areas where there are pipes.
- Insulate your pipes
- When you are away, and the house is cooler, open cabinet doors with pipes inside them.
- Keep areas where there are pipes warm.
