One of the most common plumbing issues is burst pipes in the water system. Burst pipes may be caused by a variety of factors, including old pipes, misuse, or damage to the pipes.

The consequences of burst pipes can be both dramatic and catastrophic. A burst pipe on the water main system can cause collateral damage, force people out of their homes, and even shut down entire streets or suburbs. This can cause people to be without water and even their homes for many days.
