How do you repair a burst pipe?

We cut out the failed section, inspect the adjacent pipe for additional corrosion or weakness, and splice in new copper or PEX. The type of fitting used depends on pipe material and access. All repairs are pressure-tested before we close any access openings.

How long does burst pipe repair take?

A straightforward burst in an accessible location takes 1–3 hours. If wall or ceiling access is required, add time for opening and patching. We focus on getting water restored quickly and give you an honest estimate before starting.

What should I do immediately if a pipe bursts?

1. Shut off the main water supply valve immediately — this stops the flow. 2. Turn on faucets to drain remaining water from the pipes. 3. Move electronics and valuables away from water. 4. Call us — we'll be there within 45–60 minutes. Do not try to patch a burst pipe with tape; it won't hold water pressure.

Does homeowner's insurance cover burst pipe repair?

Most standard homeowner's policies cover sudden and accidental burst pipe damage, including water damage remediation. Gradual leaks are typically excluded. We provide detailed documentation of the cause and scope for your insurance claim.
