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 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
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. 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. 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?
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?
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.
