Know what to look for

Signs you may need burst pipe repair

A burst pipe is not always a dramatic spray from an exposed line. Some failures happen behind walls, above ceilings, under floors, or in crawl spaces.

  • Water spraying or running from a visible pipe
  • A sudden wet ceiling, wall, cabinet, or floor
  • Rapidly dropping water pressure
  • The sound of running water when fixtures are off
  • Water collecting in a crawl space or utility area
  • A frozen pipe that has cracked or started leaking after thawing
What to do now

Stop the water before the damage spreads.

A split or failed pipe can release a large amount of water quickly. The first goal is to reduce the flow without putting anyone at risk.

  1. 01

    Shut off the nearest fixture valve or the main water supply if you can reach it safely.

  2. 02

    Move valuables away from the wet area and place a container under smaller leaks when practical.

  3. 03

    Do not enter standing water near electrical equipment, outlets, or damaged wiring.

Frequently asked questions

Burst Pipe Repair questions

General answers before you choose a local service page.

What should I do first if a pipe bursts?

If it is safe, shut off the nearest valve or the main water supply, keep clear of electrical hazards, and move belongings away from the water.

Can a frozen pipe burst after it starts thawing?

Yes. A frozen section can crack, and the leak may become obvious as water begins flowing again. Watch exposed and previously frozen areas closely.

What if I cannot find the main water shutoff?

Do not damage walls or enter unsafe areas looking for it. Submit the request and explain that the water is still active and the shutoff location is unknown.

Does a wet ceiling always mean a plumbing leak?

No. Roof leaks, HVAC condensation, and other sources can also cause ceiling water. The location, timing, and whether plumbing fixtures are being used can help narrow the cause.

Will the damaged wall or floor also need repair?

Possibly. Plumbing repair addresses the failed pipe; wet building materials may also need drying, cleanup, or restoration depending on the amount and type of water involved.
