Although it's common for your drains to get clogged, it's a problem you shouldn't take lightly. Blockages, whether they're caused by ice or accumulated debris, can prevent water from flowing freely. If they aren't removed properly, the pressure inside the system will increase. This results in the pipes expanding which often causes them to burst.
A burst pipe is a catastrophe that's difficult to handle. Not only does it damage your plumbing system and your property, but it can also invite waterborne viruses and bacteria into your home.
As such, it's in your best interest to prevent it at all costs. There are several things you can do to avoid creating this disaster, but the simplest methods include the following:
Nevertheless, you need to realize these tips can't always neutralize the threat. In some situations, the blockage is so bad the pipes burst even before you're able to apply any of these solutions.
