Why Do Water Mains Burst?
Water mains are built to withstand constant pressure, but like any underground infrastructure, they can deteriorate over time. Ageing pipes, corrosion, shifting ground conditions, heavy traffic loads and accidental damage during construction work are among the most common causes of burst water mains.
Seasonal weather also plays a role. During colder months, freezing temperatures can cause water inside pipes to expand, increasing the likelihood of cracks or ruptures. In contrast, prolonged dry weather can lead to ground movement that places additional stress on underground pipework.
Identifying the underlying cause of the burst is an important part of the repair process. Our engineers investigate every incident thoroughly to ensure the repair addresses not only the visible damage but also any factors that could lead to future failures.
