Burst Pipes Are Always an Emergency

poppy johnson • August 23, 2020

Call in the pros fast when a pipe has burst at a commercial property.

A burst pipe can occur at a commercial property at any time of the day or night, in any season or under any conditions. Burst pipes always need to be repaired quickly, because they will be responsible for distributing potable water to the commercial workplace or taking wastewater from the workplace environment. These systems need to be working well at all times for the health and safety of everyone working in the building, or visiting in that workplace environment.

The failures in a water system pipeline can come from a variety of reasons, including:

•    Damage to the pipe wall
•    Weathering effects
•    Damage to piping during installation
•    Corrosion in or on the pipes
•    Cracks in the pipes
•    Cracking or crushing at pipe ends

First, the pipe will need to be inspected to determine the best plan for repairs. The review and assessment of the pipe structure will note the pipe:

•    Material type
•    Average age of the structure
•    Class of pipe
•    Overall condition of pipe
•    External pipe dimensions

It will also be important to determine whether repairs will be made as wet or dry, as in whether the repairs will be mad wet while maintaining minimal pressure in the pipes or dry where the pipe is completely drained out of water. Any time that the repairs necessitate cutting out any section of the pipe, it will need to be totally drained out to complete those repairs safely.

With replacing pipe sections and organizing repairs it is important to check the system, make repairs appropriate to the pipe and take care during all cutting not to further damage the pipes at any angle. Other precautions include to manage pipe repairs and also to:

•    Correctly measure for expansion gaps
•    Making square cuts
•    Treating both ends of the pipe carefully
•    Tightening bolts in an even manner
•    Restoring all necessary coatings onto parent pipes
•    Recording the repair
•    Refilling the pipe from one direction
•    Carefully restoring valves
