What a burst pipe does to a house

A burst pipe isn't a slow drip. A half-inch supply line can put out several hundred gallons an hour, and if it lets go in a wall or ceiling, you might not see it until it's been running a while. By then the water's in the framing, the insulation, and the floor below.

Around here it's almost always the cold. An unheated crawlspace, a pipe running through an exterior wall, a second-floor unit nobody's watching in January: water freezes, expands, and splits the pipe. The split itself is a cheap fix. The water that came out of it is the expensive part.

Signs a pipe has burst or is about to

Sometimes you hear it. More often you find it. Watch for:

  • No water from a faucet on a cold morning, which means a line may already be frozen
  • A sudden drop in water pressure anywhere in the house
  • Water stains spreading across a ceiling or down a wall
  • The sound of running water when nothing is turned on
  • A spike in the water bill
  • Frost or bulging on an exposed pipe

How we handle burst pipe damage

First thing: get the water shut off if it isn't already, and confirm the leak is actually stopped. Then we pump out standing water the same day and pull the wet materials that can't be saved, usually soaked insulation and drywall around the failure point.

Drying is where the real work is. Water from a burst pipe travels along framing and pools in spots you'd never guess, so we open up wall cavities where we have to and run air movers and dehumidifiers until everything reads dry. Once the structure's dry, we rebuild: drywall, paint, flooring, trim. We can point you to a plumber for the pipe itself, or work alongside the one you already use.

Why you can't wait on this one

A burst pipe is one of the faster ways to flood a house. Every hour it sits, more water spreads into more framing and the dry-out gets bigger. There's also a real mold clock: around 48 hours, it starts. Shut the water off, then call. We'll be at your door in about an hour.

Burst pipes are usually a covered claim

Sudden pipe failure is one of the most commonly covered water claims there is. The exception is a pipe that froze because the heat was off and the house was left unattended, so don't sit on it. We document everything the way adjusters want it and bill your carrier directly.

Common questions about burst pipe water damage

What do I do the second I find a burst pipe?
Shut off the main water valve, then kill power to any room that's taken on water if you can do it safely. After that, call us. Move what you can off the wet floor, but don't go pulling apart walls; that's our job, and the adjuster wants it documented first.
Does insurance cover a frozen pipe that burst?
Usually yes, if the house was being heated and lived in. Where claims get denied is when a pipe froze because the heat was shut off and nobody was around. If you're leaving a property empty in winter, keep the heat on and the water shut off at the main.
How much water are we talking about?
More than people expect. A burst half-inch line can move a few hundred gallons an hour. If it ran overnight in a second-floor wall, the water's been through two floors and a ceiling before you found it.
Can you fix the pipe too?
Our focus is the water damage: extraction, drying, and the rebuild. We work with plumbers all the time and can get one out to you, or coordinate with yours. Often the plumbing fix is quick; the drying is the part that takes days.
Why do pipes burst so much in this area?
Old housing stock and hard winters. A lot of Merrimack Valley homes have pipes running through exterior walls or unheated spaces that were never well insulated. One cold snap and the vulnerable ones go.
