Common Causes of Broken & Burst Pipes

In Northeast Ohio, heavy precipitation and severe cold account for most burst pipe repair needs. During winter, temperatures frequently dip below freezing, and Akron has an average of 158 days and 39.6 inches of rain each year — the highest precipitation rates in the state!

Broken Pipes After Heavy Rains & Melted Snow

Heavy rains after a long dry spell mean shifting grounds and increased pressure on pipes. Why? Because earth that has lost a lot of moisture is suddenly deluged with huge amounts of water, which causes rapid expansion. This expansion means pipes are squeezed — and brittle pipes will burst.

Here at Blind & Sons, we can’t control the weather, but we can help you prevent costly repairs. An annual inspection of your pipes conducted by our experts before the start of the rainy season will greatly reduce the likelihood of you facing a bill for burst pipe repair or broken pipe replacement.

Schedule an affordable pipe inspection in Akron or Northeast Ohio! Contact Blind & Sons by calling (330) 753-7711 or schedule your services online today.

Frozen & Burst Pipes from Freezing Temperatures

Long stretches of extreme cold (common in Northeast Ohio) can cause pipes to freeze, leading to reduced water flow to your fixtures, along with visible leaks, holes, and pipe deformities. Frozen pipes can burst at any time and are hazardous to your home’s structural integrity. That’s why Blind & Sons is available for frozen or burst pipe repairs.

Corrosion

Metal water pipes are susceptible to corrosion. Corrosion can cause pipe damage in two main ways. First, the corrosion weakens the pipes and lowers the maximum pressure they can withstand. Corrosion also clogs the pipes, which increases water pressure.

Ground Movements & Shifting Soils

Ground movements can damage buried plumbing pipes. Shifting soils or earth tremors are classic examples. For example, water can saturate the ground after a heavy rainfall or flood. The soil below a pipe might sink and cause the pipe above it to follow suit.

In most cases, you can’t do anything to prevent earth movements since they are mostly natural events. However, proper drainage can prevent flooding and related soil movements. In case you suspect earth movements, have Blind & Sons inspect the pipes for damage.

Aging Pipes & Plumbing

All plumbing systems age and deteriorate with time, even though some age slower than others. Older pipes tend to be weaker than relatively new pipes, causing them to be vulnerable to damages that they might have endured when new. Simply due to old age, your water pipes might burst without warning. Fortunately, Blind & Sons has the skills, experience, and equipment to take care of your plumbing issues.
