❄️ Common Causes of Burst Pipes in Edmonton

Our climate makes pipe failures extremely common. The most frequent causes include:

  • Frozen pipes during cold snaps
  • Aging copper or Poly-B lines
  • Excessive water pressure
  • Corroded fittings or valves
  • Poorly installed plumbing
  • Basements with no heat
  • Waterlines near exterior walls
  • Hot water tank failures
  • Slow leaks that suddenly rupture

Edmonton winter + weak plumbing = disaster waiting to happen.

💦 Signs You Have a Burst Pipe

Call us right away if you notice:

  • Water pouring or spraying from a pipe
  • Sudden drop in water pressure
  • Wet ceilings, walls, or flooring
  • Sound of running water behind walls
  • Hot water tank or furnace room flooding
  • Water pooling in basement
  • Visible cracks or bulges in pipes
  • Unexpectedly high water bill

Burst pipes rarely fix themselves — they always get worse.
