What Causes a Pipe to Burst?

In Oregon’s winter cold, freezing pipes are the leading cause of burst pipes, however, in warmer months, there are several different reasons why a pipe may burst. Some of these reasons include:

Corrosion

The use of chemical drain cleaners creates weak spots in your pipes that can eventually burst. Lye is the culpirt here, as it is the active ingredient in most chemical drain cleaners.

Excess Pressure

If there is excess pressure in your pipes from a clogged toilet or clogged drain, it will put extra stress on the pipe walls. Eventually, the stress will be too much, and the pipe will burst.

Types of Sump Pumps

Sump pumps work to remove excess water from the foundation of your home. Once the water reaches a certain level, it is drained into a tank and pumped away. There are two main types of sump pumps that serve better for different kinds of households. They are:

Submersible Unit

Can be fully submerged in water without being damaged.
Pumps water at a faster rate, making it ideal for homes that will regularly rely on the pump.

Pedestal Pump

Cannot be submerged in water.
The pump sits on a platform above the tank.
Pumps water at a slower rate per minute, making it better for homes that will only use the pump as a precaution.
