Burst Pipe Work Through Our Network
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 split section is cut out and replaced, often with PEX, which tolerates freezing better than copper or CPVC.
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
Not every burst is the pipe itself; braided supply hoses, compression fittings, and shutoff valves fail too. 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. Contractors can also point out lines that should be rerouted away from cold walls.

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. The contractor replaced the section with PEX, pressure-tested it, and had the wall drying the same day.

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?
It's usually where the water line enters the house, often in a basement, crawl space, garage, or utility room, or near the water heater. Some homes have it in an exterior box 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?
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?
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?
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.
