Problem Analysis:
If the water pipe bursts, a large amount of water will overflow, and the water will be sprayed everywhere, and the non-waterproof items in the house will suffer. At this time, if there are household appliances nearby in use, it is even more dangerous. The burst of the water pipe is probably due to the pipe being too old or the quality of the original pipe material is not up to the pipe pressure requirement. Regardless of whether the water is dripping or gushing out, be calm at the first time and be aware of the location of your home's water supply pipe valve.
Solution for water supply pipe burst:
1. Response measures-reduce damage
Step 1: The most emergency measure is to run to the valve of the water supply pipe and close it immediately, and then report to the property department for repair as soon as possible.
Step 2: If the water pipe bursts severely and it is too far away from the valve of the water pipe, you can wrap the broken part of the water pipe with a towel to reduce the damage caused by the water flow.
2. Preventive measures-careful selection and management
At present, the mainstream water supply pipes used in home improvement are PP-R pipes, and some manufacturers use PP-R pipes produced by recycled materials and waste materials. Often the temperature and pressure resistance performance cannot reach the standard or there are blisters, resulting in pipe bursts and leakage. And other issues. Therefore, when buying pipelines, take precautions against unburned, and you should choose products with big brands and good quality. Big-brand pipeline products generally use high-quality raw materials and have a rigorous inspection process. The quality is more guaranteed, and the normal service life is more than long-term durability according to standards.
