What Burst Pipe Repair Covers
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 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
A warm spot on the floor, a running meter, or the sound of water under the slab can mean a burst line in the foundation. 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. They'll flag lines that run through cold spaces.

When the Pipe Gave Out
These callers all heard water running inside a wall.
A pipe in our exterior wall froze during a cold snap and split when it thawed. They swapped in PEX, tested it, and set up dryers within hours.
— Greg F., West DennisA 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., West DennisWe had a warm spot on the tile and a water bill that doubled. The contractor rerouted the line overhead instead of breaking up the slab.

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?
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.
