What Causes a Pipe to Break

Our Repair and Cleanup Process

2. Extraction. A broken pipe water clean up starts with pumping and vacuuming out standing water. See our emergency water extraction page.
3. Pipe repair. The damaged section is cut out and repaired or replaced, often alongside our leak detection services if the break was hard to trace.
4. Moisture check. We check walls, flooring and cabinetry for water that traveled beyond the visible spill.
5. Drying. Air movers and dehumidifiers bring the structure back to a safe moisture level. See structural drying and dehumidification.
6. Repair and rebuild. Damaged drywall, flooring and cabinetry are restored through our reconstruction services.

Where Pipe Breaks Usually Happen

Exterior walls, unheated crawlspaces, attics and garages are the most common places for a pipe to freeze and split, since these areas often lack the insulation that protects plumbing inside conditioned living space. Older homes with galvanized or outdated plumbing are also more prone to a sudden break as fittings corrode over time. If the break was inside a crawlspace, our crawlspace water extraction team can access and dry that space directly.

Broken Pipes and Water Damage Beyond the Leak

Once the water is stopped, the real work is making sure it did not spread into wall cavities or under flooring, which is why we check further than the visibly wet area on every job.

Burst Pipe Repair in Cold Weather

How do I know if a pipe is about to freeze and break?

Reduced or no water flow from a faucet during a cold snap is a warning sign. If that happens, shut off the water to that line if possible and call before it fails completely.

Is pipe break damage covered by insurance?
