Signs of a Water Pipe Break

Some pipe breaks are obvious—like a flooded basement or gushing water from a broken pipe. Others can be harder to detect. Here are the key warning signs:
A sudden drop in water pressure

throughout your home or building.

Unexplained water puddles

inside or outside your property.

Unusually high water bills

that indicate excessive water loss.

Water stains on walls or ceilings

suggesting hidden leaks.

Strange noises in your pipes

Strange noises in your pipes such as banging or hissing sounds.

Damp, musty smells

Damp, musty smells that could signal hidden water damage or mold growth.

If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait—a hidden pipe break can lead to major structural issues and mold infestations if left untreated.

Our Water Pipe Break Repair Process

When a water pipe break occurs, we take a systematic approach to ensure thorough repairs and long-term protection for your property.

Step 1

Emergency Shut-Off & Leak Containment

The first step is to stop the flow of water by shutting off the main supply. We also take immediate measures to contain the damage and prevent further flooding.

Step 2

Leak Detection & Damage Assessment

Using advanced moisture meters, infrared cameras, and pressure testing, we identify the exact location of the break—even if it’s hidden behind walls or underground.

Step 3

Pipe Repair or Replacement

Depending on the severity of the break, we will either patch the pipe, replace the damaged section, or install new plumbing lines using high-quality materials that withstand wear and tear.

Step 4

Water Removal & Drying

After fixing the pipe, we extract standing water, dry affected areas, and dehumidify the space to prevent mold and structural damage.

Step 5

Structural Restoration & Repairs

If the break caused damage to walls, floors, ceilings, or foundations, we provide full restoration services, including drywall repair, repainting, and flooring replacement.

Step 6

Preventative Solutions & Maintenance Tips

We don’t just fix the problem—we help you prevent future pipe breaks with insulation, pressure regulation, and maintenance advice to keep your plumbing system running smoothly.

How to Minimize Damage Before Help Arrives

If you suspect a water pipe break, here’s what you can do to limit the damage before our team arrives:

Turn off the main water supply

to stop further flooding.

Shut off electrical power

if water is near outlets or appliances.

Move valuables and furniture

away from the affected area.

Try to contain small leaks

using towels or buckets.

Avoid using plumbing fixtures

until the issue is resolved.

Construction or Excavation Damage

Nearby digging or renovations can accidentally puncture or shift pipes, causing a break.

Taking these quick steps can significantly reduce water damage and make the repair process faster and more effective.

FAQS

FAQs About Water Pipe Breaks

How long does it take to fix a broken water pipe?

It depends on the severity and location of the break. Minor leaks can be repaired within a few hours, while larger pipe replacements or underground repairs may take a day or more.

In most cases, insurance covers sudden pipe breaks but may not cover damage due to neglect or aging pipes. We can help document the damage for your claim.

Temporary fixes, like pipe clamps or tape, might slow the leak, but a permanent repair requires professional expertise to prevent future failures.

  • Insulate pipes in cold weather to prevent freezing.
  • Monitor your water pressure to avoid excessive strain on pipes.
  • Replace old pipes before they fail.
  • Schedule annual plumbing inspections to catch issues early.

A water pipe break can be stressful, but you don’t have to deal with it alone. Whether it’s a small leak or a major pipe failure, we’re here to restore your home or business quickly and efficiently.
