Burst pipes are a common cause of water damage. Pipes constitute a very important system in a home. They are mostly hidden and you never think about them till the day you have a broken pipe. Burst pipes are distressing and can lead to large water spills that can be challenging to clean up. A broken pipe may be caused by a few factors, such as weather changes (frozen pipes or cracked pipes), malfunction, incorrect installation, or blockages.
