Burst Pipe Work Through Our Network
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
Not every burst is the pipe itself; braided supply hoses, compression fittings, and shutoff valves fail too. 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. They'll flag lines that run through cold spaces.

What should I do first when a pipe bursts?
Close the main shutoff immediately, kill power to wet rooms if it's safe, drain the lines through a faucet, and call a pro.
Where is my main water shutoff valve?
It's usually where the water line enters the house, often in a basement, crawl space, garage, or utility room, or near the water heater. Some homes have it in an exterior box 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?
PEX is flexible, handles freezing better, and is quicker to install, which makes it popular for repairs. Copper is durable and long-lasting. The contractor will recommend what fits your existing system and local code.
Does insurance cover a burst pipe?
Usually the resulting water damage is covered if the burst was sudden. Coverage for the pipe itself varies, and neglect-related losses are often 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.
