Orkney burst pipe

 

Typical problems with burst pipes in Orkney

• Corroded pipes in Orkney

When galvanized pipes corrode it happens from the inside and thus is not always visible by the naked eye which seems to be a common problem in the Orkney and surrounding areas.

• Polycorp pipes exposed to sunlight in the Orkney area

When Polycorp is used in areas where it is exposed to direct sunlight the UV rays from the sun has the effect of degrading the pipes to the extend where they become brittle and burst easily which is a major problem in Orkney due to the fact that some of the plumbers that has completed work in the Orkney and surrounding areas are not qualified and thus produces very low quality work.

• Polycorp exposed to hot water in Orkney

When Polycorp is exposed to hot water the pipe will very quickly become brittle and burst common to the Orkney and surrounding areas…  The use of Polycorp for hot water supplies in Orkney is another effect of poor workmanship and non qualified staff.
