Burst Pipes

Frequently Asked Questions

First, shut off your main water valve to stop the flow of water. Then, turn off electricity to any affected areas for safety. Try to contain or remove standing water to prevent further damage. Finally, call a licensed plumber right away—72 Degrees Air Conditioning, Heating, and Plumbing offers 24/7 emergency service to help fix the issue quickly and safely.

Pipes most often burst due to freezing temperatures, which cause water inside the pipe to expand. They can also burst from age, corrosion, high water pressure, or physical damage. Once the pipe weakens, even normal water flow can create a rupture, leading to sudden flooding and water damage.

Yes, most burst pipes can be repaired or replaced depending on the damage. Our plumbers assess the location and cause of the burst, then use professional tools and fittings to restore the system—whether it’s a small section of pipe or a full line replacement.

The cost to repair a burst pipe varies based on the location of the break, how accessible it is, and how much damage occurred. Small, exposed pipes are typically less expensive to fix than underground or hidden ones. For a precise estimate, we offer on-site inspections and upfront pricing so there are no surprises.

Yes, the licensed plumbers at 72 Degrees Texas are available 24 hours a day for emergency burst pipe repair. Whether it’s the middle of the night or over the weekend, you can count on fast, reliable service to stop the leak and prevent further damage.

What Causes Pipes to Burst?

The most common cause of pipe bursts is freezing temperatures. Cold snaps may be brief in Texas, but they’re enough to freeze standing water inside pipes—especially in older homes or uninsulated areas like attics, crawl spaces, or outdoor lines.

But cold isn’t the only culprit. Pipes can also burst due to:

  • Aging materials like galvanized steel or brittle PVC
  • Shifting foundations or settling soil
  • Corrosion or mineral buildup inside water lines
  • Improper installation or poor past repairs
  • Sudden spikes in water pressure or pressure regulator failure

No matter the cause, the result is the same: water where it shouldn’t be—and fast.

Early Signs You Might Have a Burst Pipe

Sometimes, a burst pipe is obvious: water flooding across the floor, drywall bubbling, or a ceiling collapsing. But in many cases, the signs are subtle at first. If you catch them early, you can avoid major damage and expensive repairs.

Keep an eye out for:

  • A sudden drop in water pressure
  • Unexplained wet spots on walls, ceilings, or floors
  • Discolored water from your faucets
  • The sound of running water when fixtures are off
  • Moldy or musty smells in one area of the home
  • Higher-than-usual water bills

If something doesn’t feel right, it’s best to call right away. Our 24-hour emergency line is always open, and we’ll send a plumber out fast to assess the situation.
