Common Causes of Burst Pipes in Exeter

Freezing Temperatures

Water expands when it freezes, putting pressure on pipes until they burst. Common in lofts, garages, and external walls.

Old or Corroded Pipes

Older properties in Exeter often have ageing copper or lead pipes that corrode over time and eventually fail.

High Water Pressure

Excessive water pressure can cause weak points in pipes to rupture. This is common in properties at the bottom of hills.

Physical Damage

Pipes can be accidentally damaged during DIY work, building work, or by rodents in rarely accessed areas.
