Emergency Plumbing Service Tivoli: what to do if a pipe bursts in your home

13/3/2018

What happens when a plumbing emergency happens? Are you ready to handle the situation? You do not want you home to sustain heavy water damage so a quick call to an emergency plumbing service Tivoli is a smart move.

Here's what you can do to prevent excessive water damage in the event of a plumbing emergency like a burst pipe.

Severe weather can cause damage to pipes. Getting exposed pipes insulated can improve their durability during the cold climate.

The first thing to do when you decide to fix the damaged pipe is to turn off your water supply. If you have lead pipes, instead of doing it yourself, better call a professional plumber to replace them with copper or PVC or CPVC.

Different degrees of pipe damage.
  • Very small puncture in the pipe or pinhole leak can be easily repaired. Wrap the hole well with a duct tape or electrical tape.
  • An inch long or hairline crack in the pipe can be repaired with either a coat sealant or a pipe clamp. Make sure the sealant is completely dry before you turn on your water supply.
  • Larger damage, cracks or holes in the pipe. A patch kit may solve the problem. Wear rubber gloves and follow all the directions. Sanding the damaged area helps the bonding process more effective. Wrap it tightly and let it dry.
  • Some situations may require the use of propane blow torch or a pipe cutter to repair larger cracks. Copper piping repair needs skills and special tools that a professional plumber can manage. This kind of piping repair is better done by an expert.

You can be prepared to handle pipe problems by knowing the quick fix you can do when it happens. Minor pipe damage is something that you can probably manage but you need the help of a reliable plumber for larger pipe repairs.
