Burst Pipe Repair Solutions
Here's what burst pipe calls usually involve.
Frozen & Split Pipe Repair
Pipes in exterior walls, attics, and crawl spaces split when ice expands inside them. 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. 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. 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.

When the Pipe Gave Out
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.

— Teresa V., University GardensWe 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?
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.
