Burst Pipe
A pipe that's already split keeps draining money and soaking the house while you wait, so shut the water off at the main and call for a free estimate.
When this becomes an emergency
- Water spreading across the floor with no clear source.
- A hissing or gurgling sound coming from inside a wall.
- The water meter still spinning after every fixture in the house is off.
- A ceiling stain that's spreading fast instead of sitting still.
What a pro does
A burst pipe call starts with finding the break, not guessing at it. The plumber shuts off the main and relieves pressure at the lowest fixture in the house before touching anything else. Then comes the harder part. Locating exactly where a line failed behind drywall or under a slab means tracing sound and checking moisture readings, since cutting in the wrong spot just adds another hole to patch. Once the damaged section is exposed, the tech matches pipe material and fittings so the repair holds, because a mismatched fitting won't hold pressure for long. It's not a job you rush.
