Broken Pipes
One of the most common causes of water damage is broken pipes. As pipes age, they begin to break down because of regular wear and tear. Even the strongest materials will degrade over time. When this happens, a pipe can break, causing a leak. This is especially common in older homes that have not been updated for a long time.
Even newer pipes can break and leak. During the winter, it’s also not uncommon for pipes to burst. When the temperatures drop, water inside of pipes can turn to ice. When water freezes it expands, which puts more pressure on the pipe and can cause it to break. Then, when the ice melts and turns back into the water, it can leak out. This can cause flooding and other water damage.
