Protecting your Water Pipes Year-Round Cold weather causes water pipes to freeze and eventually burst. The rupture occurs because the pressure from unfrozen water between the ice and the closed faucet becomes so great, it splits metal. This phenomenon can happen in warmer climates as well. In Florida, it is not uncommon for a quick wind gust to create a wind chill. When that colder air passes by the warm water in the pipes, pressure is created, and boom! The pipe ruptures. Cold weather is not the only cause of water pipe failure. Warm weather also causes thousands of pipes to burst each year. In the dog days of July, August, and early September, heat-related water main bursts are at peak levels. Even if your pipes are underground they are not safe from extreme temperatures.
