A burst pipe is something that everyone dreads happening. It can happen suddenly and unexpectedly at any time of the day or night. When you are faced with a burst pipe you need to act fast to prevent further water damage.
When a pipe bursts on your property, water damage and the safety of those in the property will be the first thing that comes to mind. Pipes can burst anywhere which can result in water leaking through floors and walls. This will cause damp ceilings, damp patches, pooling water and other signs of water escape. Obviously, if not attended to by a professional immediately, this can cause huge amounts of damage to the structure of your property, your furniture and personal belongings.
This may also affect the surrounding areas of your property, with water flowing into parts of your home which may cause a danger to you and your family.
A leaking or dripping pipe, tap or faucet should be treated with the same urgency as you would for a burst pipe. Although the amount of water or waste escaping may not seem very much, it can be a sign of something much worse. Excess water may be seeping under your fixtures causing severe damage which will be out of sight.
