What Causes Pipes to Burst?
The most common cause of pipe bursts is freezing temperatures. Cold snaps may be brief in Texas, but they’re enough to freeze standing water inside pipes—especially in older homes or uninsulated areas like attics, crawl spaces, or outdoor lines.
But cold isn’t the only culprit. Pipes can also burst due to:
- Aging materials like galvanized steel or brittle PVC
- Shifting foundations or settling soil
- Corrosion or mineral buildup inside water lines
- Improper installation or poor past repairs
- Sudden spikes in water pressure or pressure regulator failure
No matter the cause, the result is the same: water where it shouldn’t be—and fast.
Early Signs You Might Have a Burst Pipe
Sometimes, a burst pipe is obvious: water flooding across the floor, drywall bubbling, or a ceiling collapsing. But in many cases, the signs are subtle at first. If you catch them early, you can avoid major damage and expensive repairs.
Keep an eye out for:
- A sudden drop in water pressure
- Unexplained wet spots on walls, ceilings, or floors
- Discolored water from your faucets
- The sound of running water when fixtures are off
- Moldy or musty smells in one area of the home
- Higher-than-usual water bills
If something doesn’t feel right, it’s best to call right away. Our 24-hour emergency line is always open, and we’ll send a plumber out fast to assess the situation.
