Burst pipes are not a new phenomenon – they can (and do) happen all the time. Depending on where the pipe is located, a burst or leak can be seriously damaging to belongings or to the property itself. Because most pipes are often hidden in flooring, roofs, or walls, water leakage can cause structural damage. Unfortunately, it can take some time before you notice a burst pipe in the roof or floor.

Burst pipes can leak up to 100 gallons of water per hour into your house. That’s about the equivalent of two full bathtubs every hour, or 48 tubs a day . If you go out for a day or go away for a weekend and a pipe bursts in your home, you could easily come home to a flooded house. No one wants that, which is why installing home flood protection is a good idea. Ask about Flo by Moen.
