Water moves underground through pipes and man made tunnels. If there are no pipes or tunnels, water finds little holes or crevices to move through.
At what temperature do pipes crack?
Water pipes should not of themselves crack at any temperature, however if pipes have water in them the water will freeze at temperatures below 0oC. If this happens then as the water freezes it will expand (ice is less dense than water) and as it expands it will either stretch metal pipes until they burst or crack ceramic pipes. For this reason external water pipes are buried at a depth to which the frost will not penetrate and internal water pipes are lagged to keep them warm.
Why do the pipes make noise when the cold water is on?
