Common Causes of Water Supply Pipe Leaks
If you are experiencing a leaking water supply pipe, English Water is here to assist. Our engineers will assess the cause of the issue and implement durable solutions designed to prevent further leaks or long-term damage.
Some of the most common causes of water supply pipe leaks include:
1. Pipe Age and Materials
Older water supply pipes are more prone to deterioration, particularly those installed before the 1980s. Many historic pipes were constructed from cast iron, which lacks flexibility and is vulnerable to corrosion. Over time, this can result in fractures, splits, and leaks.
2. Variations in Water Pressure
Sudden or sustained increases in water pressure can place excessive strain on a water supply pipe. When pressure exceeds the pipe's tolerance, it may cause cracks, leaks, or complete failure, often leading to property damage and increased water charges.
3. Accidental Excavation Damage
Groundworks or excavation on private property can unintentionally strike or damage underground water supply pipes. Machinery and digging tools may puncture or fracture the pipe, resulting in leaks and interruptions to the water supply.
4. Temperature Extremes
Significant temperature changes can affect the stability of water supply pipes. Freezing conditions cause ground expansion that places pressure on buried pipes, while dry, hot conditions can lead to soil movement. Repeated expansion and contraction increase the risk of cracking or bursting.
5. Heavy Vehicle Loading
Water supply pipes installed at shallow depths can be affected by the weight of heavy vehicles. Traffic vibrations and loading can deform pipes or destabilise surrounding ground, increasing the likelihood of leaks. Regular inspection in these areas can help identify early warning signs.
