Burst Pipe Work Through Our Network
Here's what burst pipe calls usually involve.
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
To reach the break, the contractor opens a clean, measured section of drywall rather than a ragged hole. 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. Repairs may go through the slab or reroute the line overhead.
Failed Fittings & Supply Lines
Braided toilet and faucet supplies, angle stops, and fittings fail as often as pipes. Contractors replace the failed part and check nearby fittings.
Freeze Protection & Insulation
Pipe insulation and heat tape help keep the problem from happening again. They'll flag lines that run through cold spaces.

How Burst Pipe Repair Works
Here's the sequence.
Shut the Main & Call
Close the main shutoff, usually near the water meter or where the line enters the house, then call +1-877-637-9008. Open a low faucet to relieve pressure.
Pro Arrives & Locates the Break
A nearby pro locates the burst and opens the wall or ceiling to reach it. Water already released is extracted right away.
Estimate & Repair
You get a written estimate, then the damaged pipe section is replaced and pressure-tested. Service comes back on once the fix is confirmed.
Dry, Document & Close Up
The cavity is dried with air movers and dehumidifiers until readings are normal, then the wall is patched. Photos and readings support your claim.
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. The contractor replaced the section with PEX, pressure-tested it, and had the wall drying the same day.
— Greg F., Colorado SpringsA braided toilet supply line let go while we were out. They replaced the hose and angle stop, extracted the water, and dried the subfloor.
— Teresa V., Colorado SpringsOur floor was warm and the meter kept spinning. They found the slab leak and rerouted the line through the attic so we didn't lose the floor.

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?
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?
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?
Most wall cavities dry in two to four days with air movers and dehumidifiers, depending on how long water ran and what materials got wet. Readings decide when it's ready to close.
