Water damage can only ever get worse, so make sure to shut off your water main and call a plumber as soon as you're aware of a leak.
Does homeowners' insurance cover pipe repair?
Most homeowners' insurance policies cover sudden, unexpected water damage. However, it’s typically not covered if you could have prevented it with the proper maintenance. If you're aware that a pipe has been leaking for some time, and you don't fix it, your insurance probably won't cover the repairs.
If you're not sure what your policy covers, check with your homeowners' insurance.
What are the signs of a burst pipe?
The following signs may indicate that one or more pipes have burst:
Indoor flooding
Water dripping on the walls or ceiling
Reduced water pressure
Discolored water
A sulfur-like smell
How long does pipe repair take?
The time it takes to repair a pipe depends on the extent of the damage and the pipe material. Simple repairs to exposed PEX pipes may take a few minutes, while copper pipe behind a wall may take 1 to 4 hours. Underground sewer pipe repairs typically take 3 hours to 2 days.
Can you repair cracked PVC pipe?

What started as a tiny yellow spot on my drywall spiraled into a homeowner's worst nightmare. That small blemish hinted at something much worse, a hidden leak from the second-floor bathroom that had spread black mold behind the walls. I was overwhelmed, but then Yuriy from Ursa Pro Restoration Inc. stepped in.
Yuriy was a true professional. He quickly assessed the situation, detected the source of the leak, and didn't waste a moment organizing mold remediation. Watching him manage the process with such confidence and expertise was a relief. Soon, the black mold was gone, the leak was addressed, and all the damaged areas were fully restored.
Thanks to Ursa Pro, my home is safe again. I can't recommend them enough, a 100% recommendation from me!

I had a great experience with Cameron and CSR Home Solutions. He showed up on time and quickly diagnosed my issue with my water heater and had it working again the same day. He was professional, friendly, and reasonably priced. I’ll definitely be calling CSR Home Solutions again if I ever need repairs in the future.
