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
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. Contractors replace the failed part and check nearby fittings.
Freeze Protection & Insulation
Pipe insulation and heat tape help keep the problem from happening again. Contractors can also point out lines that should be rerouted away from cold walls.

These callers all heard water running inside a wall.
Our kitchen wall line froze and burst the morning it warmed up. They swapped in PEX, tested it, and set up dryers within hours.

What should I do first when a pipe bursts?
Close the main shutoff immediately, kill power to wet rooms if it's safe, drain the lines through a faucet, and call a pro.
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?
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.
