Burst Pipe Work Through Our Network
Here's what burst pipe calls usually involve.
Frozen & Split Pipe Repair
Lines in cold exterior walls and crawl spaces burst as ice forms. 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. That same opening helps dry the wall cavity.
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
After repair, vulnerable lines can get foam pipe insulation or heat cable to prevent a repeat. Contractors can also point out lines that should be rerouted away from cold walls.

Burst Pipe Stories From Charlotte Harbor
Every one of these started with water where it shouldn't be.
A pipe in our exterior wall froze during a cold snap and split when it thawed. The contractor replaced the section with PEX, pressure-tested it, and had the wall drying the same day.

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?
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?
Water expands as it freezes, which builds pressure between the ice blockage and a closed faucet. That pressure splits the pipe, and the leak shows up once the ice 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?
Typically two to four days. The contractor measures moisture daily and closes the wall only when readings are normal.
