What Burst Pipe Repair Covers
Pipe failures come in a few common forms.
Frozen & Split Pipe Repair
Pipes in exterior walls, attics, and crawl spaces split when ice expands inside them. The split section is cut out and replaced, often with PEX, which tolerates freezing better than copper or CPVC.
Wall & Ceiling Access Openings
A neat, square access cut gets to the pipe without unnecessary damage. The opening doubles as a drying port.
Slab & Under-Floor Leak Repair
Hot spots on tile or a meter that never stops can point to a slab leak. Options include spot repair through the slab or rerouting the line through walls or attic.
Failed Fittings & Supply Lines
Braided toilet and faucet supplies, angle stops, and fittings fail as often as pipes. The bad part is replaced and neighboring fittings are inspected.
Freeze Protection & Insulation
Pipe insulation and heat tape help keep the problem from happening again. Contractors can also point out lines that should be rerouted away from cold walls.

When the Pipe Gave Out
These callers all heard water running inside a wall.
Our kitchen wall line froze and burst the morning it warmed up. They swapped in PEX, tested it, and set up dryers within hours.

What should I do first when a pipe bursts?
Shut off the main water valve right away, then turn off electricity to any wet areas if you can do it safely. Open a faucet to drain pressure, move belongings out of the way, and call for help.
Where is my main water shutoff valve?
Look where the supply enters the home: basement wall, crawl space, garage, or near the water heater. In warmer areas it may be outside near the meter.
Why do pipes burst when they freeze?
Ice expands inside the line and pushes pressure toward the closed fixture. The pipe splits under that pressure and leaks when it thaws.
Is PEX better than copper for repairs?
Both work. PEX tolerates freeze-expansion better and installs fast, while copper is rigid and very durable. Local code and your current piping guide the choice.
Does insurance cover a burst pipe?
Sudden, accidental bursts are commonly covered, including resulting water damage. The pipe repair itself may or may not be covered, and damage from a long-term slow leak or lack of heat in a vacant home can be excluded.
How long does a wall take to dry after a burst pipe?
Typically two to four days. The contractor measures moisture daily and closes the wall only when readings are normal.
