Burst Pipe? Shut the Water and Call Now
When a pipe bursts, every minute counts. The first step is to shut off your main water valve; the second is to call us. We respond around the clock, stop the flooding, and repair or replace the damaged section so your home is safe again.
Even in the Bay Area’s mild climate, cold snaps freeze exposed pipes in crawlspaces, garages, and exterior walls — and frozen pipes are what burst. We thaw and repair frozen lines and help you protect vulnerable pipes so it doesn’t happen again.
What Causes Pipes to Freeze & Burst
Freezing Temperatures
Water expands as it freezes, splitting exposed pipes in crawlspaces, garages, and exterior walls.
Corrosion & Age
Old galvanized and corroded pipes weaken until they rupture, often without warning.
High Water Pressure
Excessive pressure stresses joints and weak spots until a pipe fails.
Ground Movement
Shifting soil and seismic activity crack and shear underground lines.
Signs of a Frozen or Failing Pipe
Act fast — a frozen pipe today can be a flood tomorrow. Watch for:
- No water or only a trickle from a faucet in cold weather
- Frost or bulging on visible pipes
- Banging, knocking, or whistling in the walls
- Water stains, damp drywall, or a sudden puddle
- A spike in your water bill
- Discolored or smelly water

Frozen & Burst Pipe Repair — Questions & Answers
What should I do the moment a pipe bursts?
Shut off your main water valve immediately to stop the flooding, then call us at (510) 966-7398. We respond 24/7 to repair the line and check for water damage.
Do pipes really freeze in the Bay Area?
Yes — during cold snaps, exposed pipes in crawlspaces, garages, and exterior walls can freeze and burst. We repair frozen lines and insulate vulnerable ones to prevent it.
How do you repair a burst pipe?
We locate and isolate the damaged section, repair or replace it, and pressure-test the line. If the pipe failed due to age or corrosion, we’ll discuss whether repiping makes sense.
Can a small pipe leak turn into a burst?
Often, yes. Corrosion and pressure weaken a pipe over time, and a slow leak can become a sudden rupture. Addressing leaks early prevents emergencies.
Are you available for pipe emergencies after hours?
Always. We’re open 24/7 — a burst pipe can flood a home in minutes, so call the moment it happens.
