Burst pipes are often a result of several factors, including temperature changes, old or damaged pipes, or unexpected accidents. Common causes include:
The Gold Coast is known for its hot and humid weather, but it can also get quite cold in the winter. This temperature fluctuation can cause pipes to expand and contract, leading to cracks and leaks. During cold snaps, water inside pipes can freeze and burst the pipe, causing serious flooding.
Older pipes, especially those made of galvanized steel or copper, are more prone to corrosion and damage. Over time, they weaken and may burst when exposed to pressure or wear.
Too much pressure in your pipes can cause them to crack or rupture, especially if the pipe walls are already weakened by age or corrosion.
Pipes can burst if they’re struck by a sharp object, such as a tool during home renovations or an impact from heavy machinery or landscaping equipment.
In some cases, burst pipes may not be immediately obvious, especially if the burst is inside a wall or under the floor. Look out for these early warning signs that indicate you may have a burst pipe:
Check your walls, floors, and ceilings for signs of water damage. If you notice wet patches or standing water, it’s time to investigate further.
sudden drop in water pressure, especially in one or more fixtures, can signal a problem in your plumbing system, including a burst pipe.

Listen for gurgling or hissing sounds from your pipes. You may also notice unpleasant smells if water is pooling in hidden areas.
