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?
An experienced plumber can repair any pipe material, including:
PVC
CPVC
Copper
Iron

First Call

Alec was great: kept me informed about his ETA, showed up when he said he would, very personable and professional. Obviously "knows his stuff!" Did an excellent job of fixing our broken water pipe, showed us the break and explained what our situation was and what it could be going forward with the Quest pipe that was used when the home was built, made recommendations for future replacement. He did an excellent job of cleaning up and replacing the sod that had been removed for the fix. We were extremely happy that we chose him for our repair and will definitely use him again. Highly recommend him.

They came out for my hot water heater leaking from the bottom. Due to the age and condition I decided to just replace it. They had it replaced and everything the same day. They have great service and technicians. I will use them again!
