What Burst Pipe Repair Covers
Pipe failures come in a few common forms.
Frozen & Split Pipe Repair
Lines in cold exterior walls and crawl spaces burst as ice forms. The damaged length is replaced, frequently with more freeze-tolerant PEX.
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. 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. 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.

What Callers Say After a Pipe Burst
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.
— Greg F., New RoadsA braided toilet supply line let go while we were out. The pro replaced the line and valve, pulled the water, and dried the floor.
— Teresa V., New RoadsWe had a warm spot on the tile and a water bill that doubled. 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?
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?
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?
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.
