A burst pipe is one of the fastest sources of major home damage — a failed supply line pushes several gallons a minute into floors, walls, and the space below until someone closes the main. Burst pipe repair is an emergency service: we dispatch fast, and the first move on arrival is always to stop the water, either at the main or by isolating the failed branch. Once the flooding stops, we find the burst, cut back to sound pipe, and splice in a tested repair so the home is watertight again the same visit.
Most bursts trace to one of three causes, and each changes the repair. A freeze burst splits the pipe wall along its length or blows a soldered joint apart, usually on an exterior wall or an unheated {city} crawlspace — we replace the split section and insulate or reroute so it doesn't refreeze. A corrosion blowout on old galvanized or pitted copper means the pipe is thin everywhere, so we flag the run beyond the repair. A joint or fitting that let go under pressure gets remade correctly rather than re-tightened.
Speed matters, but so does not leaving you with a hidden second problem. After the repair we pressure-test the line, then help you stage the water cleanup — pulling wet insulation, opening a cavity to dry, and pointing out where a moisture problem will grow if it isn't addressed. If the burst flooded a finished ceiling or wall across {county}, we document it for your insurance claim and can coordinate the drywall repair, so the emergency ends with a real fix rather than a patch over a wet wall.
Signs you need burst pipe repair
Water spraying or pouring from a pipe
An open burst floods a space by the minute. Shut your main valve if you can reach it and call — the sooner the water stops, the less floor, wall, and ceiling it destroys in a the United States home.
A dramatic drop in pressure across the house can mean a supply line has burst and is dumping water before it reaches the fixtures. It's a cue to find the main shut-off fast.
Water stains or bulging walls and ceilings
A ceiling that sags or a wall that bulges after a cold snap is holding water from a burst line above. Opening it to repair and dry prevents a collapse across your area.
No water from the taps in winter
Taps that run dry during a freeze mean a pipe is frozen — and a frozen pipe is a burst waiting to thaw. Calling before it thaws lets us find and address the split proactively.
Banging pipes then a leak
A hard water-hammer bang followed by a leak is a joint or fitting that failed under a pressure spike. The burst point is usually the connection that banged loudest in the the United States system.
Common causes & what we fix
Frozen pipes
Water expands about 9% as it freezes, and the pressure between the ice plug and a closed tap splits the pipe or blows a joint. Uninsulated the United States exterior walls, crawlspaces, and attics are where it happens.
Corrosion and age
Old galvanized steel and pitted copper thin from the inside until the wall can no longer hold pressure and blows out. A corrosion burst usually means the whole run is near failure, not just the hole.
Excessive water pressure
A failed PRV or municipal over-pressure pushes the system past what the weakest fitting can hold until it bursts. Fixing the pressure alongside the pipe stops the next the United States blowout.
Water hammer and pressure spikes
Fast-closing valves and appliance solenoids send shock waves that fatigue joints until one fails. Repeated hammering is the warning before the burst around your area.
Failed fittings and old solder joints
A cold solder joint or a stressed compression fitting lets go years later, often under normal pressure. We remake the joint properly rather than reseal a failure point.

Frequently asked about burst pipe repair
Top questions homeowners searching for Burst Pipe Repair near me ask us:
What do I do the moment a pipe bursts?
Shut off your main water valve — usually where the line enters the home or at the street meter — to stop the flooding, then call us. Kill power to any area taking on water. We'll coach you through the shut-off on the phone while our the United States truck rolls.
How fast can you get to a burst pipe?
Burst pipes are top-priority emergency dispatch, and our average on-site time is well under 90 minutes in covered areas. The dispatcher stays on the line to walk you through stopping the water across the United States while we're en route.
Can you repair it in one visit?
In the large majority of cases, yes — the truck carries pipe, fittings, and push-connect couplings for a fast, tested repair. If the burst revealed a whole run of failing pipe, we make the home watertight now and schedule the section or repipe next across your area.
Why did my pipe burst?
Most often a freeze split, a corrosion blowout on old pipe, or a joint that failed under a pressure spike. We identify the cause during the repair and address it — insulation for freeze, a PRV for over-pressure — so the same pipe doesn't burst again in the United States.
Will you help with the water damage?
Yes — after the repair we help stage the cleanup, pull wet material to dry, and document the damage for your insurance claim. We can coordinate the drywall and ceiling repair too, serving ZIPs and the surrounding the United States area.
