Burst pipe? What to do while we're on the way

  1. Shut off the main water valve. Garage, basement, crawlspace, or near the street meter — turn clockwise.
  2. Open faucets to drain the lines. Relieves pressure and clears remaining water.
  3. Cut power if water is near electrical. Switch off the breaker for any flooded area.
  4. Move valuables and contain the water. Towels, buckets, and a wet/dry vac limit damage.
  5. Call us and photograph the damage. We dispatch a plumber; photos help your claim.

What we do when we arrive

Isolate and stop the leak, locate the exact failure point — including behind walls and under slabs with electronic leak detection — and repair or replace the burst section the same visit. We protect freeze-prone runs and document the damage for your claim.

Need cleanup too? We coordinate water extraction and drying.

Hidden leaks

Signs a pipe burst behind a wall

  • Rushing or hissing water sound inside a wall
  • Water stains, bubbling paint, or sagging drywall
  • A sudden spike in your water bill
  • Low water pressure or no water at all
  • A musty smell or mold appearing
  • Warm spots on the floor (hot-water slab leak)
Why it happened

Common causes in Portland

Most bursts trace back to freezing during a cold snap, high water pressure or a failed PRV, corrosion in aging galvanized pipe, water hammer, or ground movement. Portland's older homes often still have galvanized steel or polybutylene pipe near end of life.

Talk to a plumber
What should I do the moment a pipe bursts?

Shut off the main water valve, open faucets to drain the lines, cut power if water is near electrical, move valuables and contain the water, then call us and photograph the damage for insurance. We'll guide you on the phone.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency burst pipe repair in Portland?

Yes. We answer live any hour and dispatch a licensed plumber the same hour — typically within ~60 minutes across the metro, nights, weekends and holidays, with no overtime fees.

How much does burst pipe repair cost in Portland?

Most repairs run roughly $400–$2,000 depending on the pipe's location and accessibility; behind-wall is less, under-slab more. You get an upfront, flat-rate quote before work begins.

Do you charge extra for nights, weekends, or holidays?

No — the same upfront, flat-rate price whenever you call, unlike many Portland plumbers who add 1.5x–3x after-hours surcharges.

Does homeowners insurance cover a burst pipe?

Usually as sudden and accidental water damage, though the pipe repair itself may not be, and neglect or unheated-home damage can be excluded. We document the cause and damage for your claim.

How do I know if a pipe burst inside my wall?

A rushing or hissing sound in the wall, water stains or bubbling paint, a water-bill spike, low pressure, or a musty smell. We locate it with electronic leak detection.

What causes pipes to burst in Portland?

Freezing during cold snaps, high pressure or a failed PRV, corrosion in aging galvanized pipe, water hammer, and ground movement. See frozen pipe repair.

Which pipe materials can you repair?

Copper, PEX, galvanized steel, PVC, CPVC and polybutylene. We repair the failed section and can recommend repiping if the pipe is at end of life.
