What to Do When a Pipe Bursts

Quick answer: Shut off the main water valve, turn off power to wet areas if it is safe, open a faucet to drain the lines, take photos, and call a water damage company to start removing water.

  1. Close the main water shut off valve. It is often in the basement on the front wall, or where the water line enters the house.
  2. Turn off power to wet rooms only if the breaker box is dry and safe to reach.
  3. Open a faucet on the lowest floor to drain water left in the pipes.
  4. Take photos and video before you move or throw anything away.
  5. Call us 24/7 at (720) 664 0553. Then call a plumber to repair the pipe.

Winter

Frozen Pipe Water Damage in Littleton Winters

Water expands when it freezes. That pressure can split copper, PEX and older galvanized pipes. Many people do not see the leak until the pipe thaws, and then water pours into walls, ceilings and basements. Littleton cold snaps, with nights far below freezing, are when we get the most burst pipe calls.

Cleanup

Broken Pipe Cleanup in Walls, Ceilings and Basements

  • Water extraction from floors, carpet and basements
  • Opening walls or ceilings only where needed to dry them
  • Drying wall cavities, subfloors and insulation
  • Moisture mapping with meters and thermal cameras
  • Mold prevention and cleaning
  • Photos and drying logs for your insurance claim
Risk

Which Pipes Freeze First?

Pipes on outside walls

Kitchen and bathroom lines on exterior walls get the least heat.

Garages and crawl spaces

Unheated spaces can drop below freezing fast.

Attics and outdoor faucets

Hose bibs and attic lines are exposed to the coldest air.

Prevention

How to Prevent Frozen Pipes

  • Keep the heat at 55 degrees F or higher, even when you travel
  • Let a faucet drip on very cold nights
  • Open sink cabinet doors so warm air reaches the pipes
  • Insulate pipes in garages, crawl spaces and attics
  • Unhook garden hoses and shut off outdoor faucets before winter
  • Keep the garage door closed in cold weather
Insurance

Does Insurance Cover Burst Pipes?

Short answer: Sudden burst pipe damage is often covered by homeowners insurance. Claims can be denied if the home was left unheated or the leak was slow and long term. The pipe repair itself is often not covered. Check your policy.

The First Moment

A Pipe Just Burst: Shut Off Your Water

A burst pipe can release hundreds of gallons fast. These quick steps limit the damage while we head your way.

  1. Shut off your main water supply. Find your main valve and close it to stop the flow right away.
  2. Open a low tap to drain the line. This relieves pressure and lets remaining water run out.
  3. Cut the power to wet areas. Only if your breaker is in a dry, safe place to reach.
  4. Move valuables away from the water. Lift electronics and belongings to a dry spot.
  5. Call us at (720) 664 0553. We extract the water and dry inside the walls before mold starts.

Local Insight

Why Pipes Burst in Littleton Winters

Colorado cold snaps make frozen pipes one of the most common winter emergencies we handle. Here is what causes them.

Freezing and expansion

Water in unheated or poorly insulated pipes freezes, expands and cracks the pipe.

The thaw releases it

When the ice melts, water pours out, often from a crack you never saw.

Hidden inside walls

Many pipes fail behind drywall, so water spreads before you notice a problem.

Age and pressure

Older or corroded pipes and high water pressure make bursts more likely.

FAQ

Burst Pipe Water Damage Questions

Signs include little or no water from a faucet, frost on a visible pipe, or a strange smell from a drain. If you think a pipe is frozen, keep the faucet open and warm the area slowly. Never use an open flame.

Shut off the main water valve first. Then call a water damage company to start removing water, and a plumber to fix the pipe. Water keeps spreading while you wait, so start the cleanup right away.

Sudden burst pipe damage is often covered. Damage from a slow leak or from leaving a home unheated may not be. Your insurance company can confirm your coverage.

Shut off your main water supply immediately, then turn off power to affected areas if it is safe. Call us at (720) 664 0553 and we will respond fast and walk you through what to do next.

Yes. Burst pipes often release water inside wall and ceiling cavities. We detect hidden moisture and dry those spaces, because water left in walls leads to mold and structural damage.

When temperatures drop, water in unheated or poorly insulated pipes can freeze and expand, cracking the pipe. When it thaws, water pours out. This is one of the most common winter emergencies we handle.

Sudden burst pipe damage is usually covered, though frozen pipe claims can depend on the circumstances. We document the loss carefully and work with your insurer to support your claim.
