Why Pipes Burst in Blue Grass

• Freezing temperatures — Iowa’s zero-degree lows cause water in exposed pipes to freeze.
• Aging galvanized pipes — Older pipes corrode from the inside.
• Water pressure spikes — Excessive pressure stresses pipe joints.
• Corrosion and mineral buildup — Minerals erode pipe interiors over time.
