Common Causes of Water Pipe Breaks

FAccidental damage is one of the most common reasons property owners in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX, see water pipe breaks, and there are a number of reasons why this type of emergency may occur in your home or business. In most cases, a water pipe break is a complete surprise and without notice.  


  • Freezing Temps: North Texas winters are typically mild, but a sudden cold snap can freeze the water inside of pipes, causing them to burst from the pressure. This type of damage is especially likely for water pipes that run through uninsulated spaces such as attics, crawlspaces, or exterior walls. 

  • Corrosion and Age: Plumbing systems naturally wear out over time and older pipes made of galvanized steel, cast iron, or copper can begin to corrode from the inside out. This gradual erosion of the pipe walls eventually leads to a reduction in overall wall thickness.  

  • High Water Pressure: Excessive or fluctuating water pressure creates stress throughout your entire plumbing system. An immediate break is common if there is a sudden increase in pressure, commonly referred to as a water hammer. 

  • Accidental Impact: Damage as the result of construction or renovation projects, remodeling, landscaping, or an impact from another source is the second most common cause of burst water pipes. Physical impact can cause the pipe to be pierced, punctured, or crushed. 

  • Shifting Soil or Foundation: Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, clay soil can expand and contract with changes in moisture, causing a shift in the soil and resulting in stress on underground water lines or pipes that run through the foundation. The shifting can bend or crack pipes over time, and the added pressure will eventually lead to a break.

Frequently Asked Questions About Flood Damage Restoration

  • What do I do after a flood?

    Take any necessary precautions to avoid standing water and turn off power systems if it is safe to do so. If the conditions are dangerous, be sure to evacuate. After ensuring everyone is safe, reach out to a professional flood damage restoration company as soon as possible. Document as much of the damage you can visibly see and record the damage for insurance purposes, but leave the cleanup and inspection to the professionals.

  • Is it safe to go back into my flooded property?

    No, it is not safe to re-enter a flooded property until professionals have deemed the structure safe. Floodwaters can present many unseen dangers, such as electrical issues, weakened structural integrity, and a range of biological and chemical contaminants. For your safety and well-being, we recommend waiting until professionals have conducted a thorough safety assessment.

  • How long does flood damage restoration take?

    The amount of time a restoration project takes varies based on many factors, including severity of flood, the degree of contamination, square footage of the property, and more. The initial drying and extraction phase of the process typically takes three to seven days. However, complete restoration of the property, including cleaning, repairs, and rebuild, can take several weeks if there is severe or extensive damage.

  • Can items be salvaged after a flood?

    Salvaging items after a flood event depends on many factors including the materials they are made of and the level of exposure to contaminated floodwaters. In general, any objects or surfaces that are made of non-porous materials, such as glass, metal, or hard plastic, can likely be cleaned and sanitized after a flood. Items that are made of porous materials, however, such as mattresses, carpeting, and upholstered furniture, may be unsafe to keep after they have been exposed to floodwater.

  • Will my homeowners or renters insurance cover floods?

    Unfortunately, most standard homeowner's and renter's insurance policies do not cover overland flooding, which occurs when rainwater or a rising body of water overflows and seeps into a structure. In most cases, a separate flood insurance policy must be purchased to cover property damage from flood events. 

  • Why do you need professional flood damage restoration services?

    There are serious health and safety risks, as well as costly financial pitfalls, when dealing with water damage. Floodwater is Category 3 "black water," the most contaminated, toxic type of water that can make you very ill. Restoration technicians are trained in PPE and safe working practices to avoid cross-contamination and getting sick. Certified technicians have the training, tools, and equipment to sanitize and disinfect all surfaces to remove bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. Flood restoration experts do an accurate structural assessment and determine damage to foundations, walls, and floor joists. Professionals have the advanced moisture extraction tools and moisture detection technology needed to prevent mold growth and wood rot. Restoration companies know how to properly remove and dispose of flood-damaged materials as hazardous waste, per EPA and local guidelines.
