Plumbing issues can crop up in all sorts of ways — your washing machine might suddenly act up, or your boiler might stop heating altogether. But few problems demand attention as urgently as a burst pipe. When pipes give way, the damage can escalate quickly. You need to call Putney emergency plumbers as soon as possible to minimise disruption and get things under control fast.

Why do pipes burst?

One of the most common causes is freezing. During cold weather, water inside your pipes can freeze and expand, and this builds pressure until the pipe splits.

Poor installation can also cause trouble. If pipes aren't properly secured, they may knock against walls or fittings when turned on and off, damaging the joints over time. Corroded or ageing pipes also eventually weaken, and under pressure, the pipe can crack and start leaking.

Whatever the reason behind a burst, speed is key. Qualified Putney plumbers can respond quickly to prevent the situation from getting worse.
