- Open outdoor faucets – Release remaining water pressure from the system
- Take photos – Document damage for insurance claims
- Call (770) 398-7827 – We’ll dispatch immediately
The faster you act, the less damage you’ll have. Every minute counts when a pipe bursts.
What Causes Pipes to Burst
Freezing temperatures are the most common cause in the Atlanta area. When water inside a pipe freezes, it expands and creates pressure that can crack or split the pipe. When the ice thaws, water rushes through the break.
Other causes include excessive water pressure, corrosion in older pipes, physical damage from construction or settling, and weakened joints in aging plumbing systems.
Pipes in uninsulated areas like crawl spaces, attics, garages, and exterior walls are the most vulnerable.
What We Do
We locate the break, shut off the water if you haven’t already, and repair or replace the damaged section of pipe. Depending on the severity, that could be a section repair with a coupling or a longer replacement run using PEX or copper.
Once the repair is complete, we test the line under pressure, inspect adjacent sections for signs of stress or damage, and make sure your system is flowing properly before we leave.
