Common causes of a burst pipe here
Years of hard water wearing at the pipe wall from the inside until it finally opens up.
A valve or pump fault can push pressure high enough to split an already weak spot.
What starts as a slow drip can turn into a proper burst if the pipe keeps wearing.
Some 20+ year old properties have joints or fittings that were never done properly.
Older buildings can shift slightly over decades, putting stress on buried supply pipes.
Rare on this coast, but still possible on an unprotected outdoor pipe on a cold night.
Burst pipes in Riviera del Sol — what to expect
With so many homes here still running their original copper pipework from the 1990s and 2000s, a burst pipe is rarely a random event. Hard water has usually been working on that pipe for years before it finally opens up.
Once the water is off, the repair itself is normally quick — cutting out the weak length and fitting new pipe. We'll also flag if we spot other sections nearby that look like they're heading the same way, so you're not back here again in six months.
