Why Pipes Burst and How to Prevent Them in the Puget Sound region

When temperatures dip or pressure builds, pipes can fail. Common causes across the Puget Sound region include:

Freezing conditions: Even short cold snaps can freeze unprotected lines in crawl spaces, exterior walls, and unheated garages.
Pressure spikes: Faulty pressure-reducing valves or sudden municipal pressure changes strain aging pipes and fittings.
Corrosion and age: Galvanized steel and older copper can thin over time, leading to pinhole leaks and ruptures.
Ground movement: Soil shifts, tree roots, or settling can crack underground service lines.
Wear at joints: Poorly supported piping or vibration near pumps and water heaters can cause stress on connections.

Prevention tips:

Insulate exposed lines: Focus on crawl spaces, attics, basements, and garages; seal drafts near hose bibs and sill plates.
Maintain steady heat: Keep interior temps consistent and open cabinet doors during cold spells to warm sink supply lines.
Drip faucets during freezes: A slight flow relieves pressure buildup in vulnerable lines.
Install a PRV and expansion tank: Stabilize system pressure and protect fixtures and water heaters.
Schedule inspections: Annual checks catch corrosion, loose hangers, and failing valves before they become emergencies.

If you suspect a weakness in your system, call Hunt’s Services for an assessment. Our expertise and problem-solving approach help you prevent costly water damage before it starts.

Burst Pipe Replacement in Western Washington — When Repair Isn’t Enough

Sometimes a spot repair isn’t the safest long-term solution. If your plumbing is aging, corroded, or failing in multiple places, replacing longer runs—or even whole-home repiping—can save money and headaches over time.

Replacement options in Western Washington:

Service line replacement: Upgrade to durable materials that resist corrosion and root intrusion; trenchless options may be available depending on site conditions.

Interior repipe: Replace aging galvanized or failing copper with modern PEX or Type L copper for reliability and better flow.

Code and safety updates: Add shutoff valves, seismic strapping, and proper supports to protect your investment.

Restoration support: We coordinate access and recommend trusted partners for drywall and surface repairs where needed.

We back our work with a strong workmanship warranty and install solutions designed for the Pacific Northwest climate.

Preventing Burst Lines in Tacoma and the Surrounding Areas

After we repair your burst line, we might give some tips on preventing this from happening in the future. Oftentimes, we will recommend that you upgrade the pipes inside your home, as this can prevent them from bursting. Insulating your pipes is another preventative measure that we can take, as it protects the pipe lining and stops the pipes from freezing and, therefore, bursting.
