The overnight low dropped well below freezing, and a copper line in the exterior wall froze solid. When it thawed the next afternoon, the split opened up and sprayed water into the wall cavity and across the living room floor. Burst pipes release a lot of water fast, and most of it ends up where you cannot see it.

Common questions

Burst Pipe Water Damage Repair Questions Answered

Shut off the main water valve, open faucets to drain pressure, turn off power to wet areas, and call for help. Then move valuables away from the water.

Sudden bursts are often covered, but damage from a slow leak or a pipe that froze because heat was left off may be treated differently. Check your policy with your agent.

The restoration contractor handles the water damage. The pipe itself should be repaired by a licensed plumber, and many contractors can coordinate that for you.

Look for soft drywall, bubbling paint, or stains near the burst. A thermal camera and moisture meter will confirm it without guesswork.

Insulate pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces, and attics, keep heat on when you travel, open cabinet doors on cold nights, and let faucets drip during hard freezes.

No. A Water Damage is a free referral service connecting you with independent, licensed and insured local contractors who do the work.
