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 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. That same opening helps dry the wall cavity.
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
Not every burst is the pipe itself; braided supply hoses, compression fittings, and shutoff valves fail too. Contractors replace the failed part and check nearby fittings.
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?
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?
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?
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.
