The phrase that every property owner shy away from is "pipe explosion."
In such a case, damage may be caused not only to your apartment, but also to that of the neighbors.
Here it is worth noting that according to the law, the responsibility for repairing the damages will apply to the owner of the apartment where the explosion in the pipeline took place.
This is not a trivial matter.
Such repairs can reach thousands and tens of thousands of shekels.
Failure to repair the explosion will result in mold, wall swelling, damage to electrical systems and damage to the structure.
Did anyone say "cheap costs expensive"?
In quite a few cases, pipe explosions have reached the doorstep of the court which takes seriously the ongoing neglect of infrastructure by tenants trying to save money at the expense of the well-being of the neighbors.
A plumbing explosion is the most complex plumbing repair, and is essentially a "half-renovation".
The cost of repairing an explosion is relatively high compared to regular plumbing repairs, and this is usually an area where the consumer has almost no knowledge.
So we are here to explain and detail what causes a pipe explosion and how to deal with it.
In cases where infrastructure works are carried out without prior preparation and familiarity with the area, there may be severe damage to the central infrastructure that will require rapid repair.
However, it is important to clarify that this is not usually a dramatic event such as damage to infrastructure.
Enough a small crack in one of the pipes to expand in a short time for an explosion.
Another thing that can cause a pipe to explode is blockages.
The blockage can be caused by damp cloths being flushed down the drain.
That is why it is very important to throw wipes in the trash and not in the toilet.
This is good and true for both the planet and your home.
Fatigue
For all the reasons we have listed so far one should add one that is correct regarding any infrastructure: material fatigue.
Older infrastructures tend to be damaged more easily.
How do you prevent the explosion?
Pay attention to early signs, such as dampness or swelling in the wall - which can cause swelling in the water bill, as most likely the cause is leakage.
What to do in case of a pipe explosion?
The first action is to close the main water tap (shiver).
Then a professional must be hired (the cost of the repair is about NIS 600).
Since this is a prominent source of explosion and not a hidden leak, you can start working on breaking the wall or floor at the site of the hazard.
The professional will then replace the damaged pipe section and in some cases the entire piping.
The reason: If the piping is worn and old and has not been replaced for many years, it is worth using the case to replace the entire piping.
In conclusion, a pipe explosion is the way the system signals to us about a serious infrastructure problem that requires our attention, just like in relationships with friends.
Landscape advice in both cases it is best to avoid an explosion by conservation and routine maintenance.
