A burst pipe in Dunwoody, GA can release hundreds of gallons of water per hour into your home. Whether it's a frozen copper line in your attic or a corroded galvanized pipe in your crawl space, our Emergency Plumbing Dunwoody GA team arrives fast to stop the damage and make permanent repairs.
What Causes Pipes to Burst in Dunwoody?
Georgia winters may be mild compared to the Northeast, but temperatures in Dunwoody regularly dip below freezing between December and February. Pipes in uninsulated attics, exterior walls, and crawl spaces are the most vulnerable. Other common causes include:
- Corrosion — galvanized steel pipes in homes built before 1985 deteriorate from the inside out
- Water pressure spikes — municipal pressure changes can stress aging joints
- Tree root intrusion — large oaks and pines near Dunwoody Nature Center can crush underground lines
