There are a number of reasons why your water line might break. In Victoria, it is not uncommon for frozen water pipes to burst and cause serious leaks, especially if you were away from your home in the winter and turned off the heating. Pipes can also break because a shift in the ground around the pipe, root systems growing and coming into contact with your pipes, corrosion, or even shoddy workmanship.
Other possible causes of damage include:
- Corrosion or deterioration of the material
