Signs of a Burst Pipe
Water stains on walls or ceilings
Brown or yellow patches, bubbling paint, or peeling wallpaper often mean a pipe has burst inside the wall.
Sudden drop in water pressure
If every faucet weakens at once, water is likely escaping from a break in the line instead of reaching your taps.
Hissing or running water sounds
Hearing water moving when every tap and appliance is off is a classic sign of a hidden burst or leak.
Puddles, damp floors, or a flooded basement
Standing water near walls, under sinks, or in the basement means a pipe has already failed.
Discolored or rusty water
Brown or cloudy water after a cold snap can signal a cracked, corroded pipe that is about to burst.
No water at all in freezing weather
A frozen pipe that stops flow completely is under pressure — it can split open as soon as it thaws.
Why Burst Pipe Repair Matters
WHY IT MATTERS
A burst pipe is a genuine home emergency. A single break can release hundreds of gallons of water a day, soaking drywall, warping hardwood floors, and shorting electrical systems. In Inwood’s co-ops and apartment buildings, one burst pipe can also damage the units below you — turning one repair into a building-wide problem.
Standing water does not stop at visible damage. Wet drywall, insulation, and wood framing can start growing mold within days, and soaked structural timber weakens over time. Fast shut-off, proper drying, and a permanent pipe repair — not a temporary patch — are what protect your home and your insurance claim.
Frozen pipes are the most common cause in Upper Manhattan winters. Water expands as it freezes, building pressure until the pipe splits. Older galvanized lines corrode from the inside for decades before they finally give way, which is why a burst in an older Inwood building often means the whole run needs attention, not just the break.

Prevention Tips for Homeowners
PREVENTION
These practical steps help stop pipes from bursting between professional inspections.
Insulate exposed pipes in basements, crawl spaces, and exterior walls before the first freeze.
Keep the heat on at least 55°F in winter — even when you travel — so pipes inside walls stay above freezing.
On the coldest nights, let faucets on exterior walls drip slowly to relieve pressure in the line.
Know where your main water shut-off valve is — and test it once a year so it turns when you need it.
Seal drafts and cold air leaks near pipes, and disconnect garden hoses before winter arrives.
Replace galvanized lines that show rusty water or falling pressure — before they burst on their own schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
Shut off your main water valve immediately — it is usually near the water meter, in the basement, or where the main line enters the building. Then turn off electricity to any flooded areas, move belongings out of the water, and call us at (585) 123-4567.
Most burst pipe repairs take 2 to 4 hours once the line is drained and the break is accessible. Hidden breaks behind walls or under floors take longer, because finding and opening the exact spot carefully is part of the job. You get a free estimate and a time frame before work begins.
Most policies cover sudden, accidental water damage from a burst pipe — the ruined floors, walls, and belongings — but not the cost of fixing the pipe itself, and not damage from a slow leak that was ignored. Photograph the damage, keep your repair invoice, and report the claim promptly.
Yes. Mold can start growing on wet drywall, insulation, and wood within days of a flood. That is why drying matters as much as the pipe repair itself — standing water and soaked materials need to be removed and dried quickly after the leak stops.
We start with the signs — pressure loss, water meter movement with everything off, stains, and sound — then use leak detection to pinpoint the break before opening any wall or floor. You see the location and approve the free estimate before we open anything up.
Freezing is the most common cause in Inwood winters: water expands as it turns to ice and splits the pipe. Corrosion in old galvanized lines, high water pressure, tree root pressure on underground lines, and simple age do the rest. An inspection catches most of them before they fail.
Yes — we handle burst pipes in single-family homes, apartments and co-ops, and commercial properties across Inwood and Upper Manhattan. For buildings, we coordinate shut-offs so only the affected lines are down, and we document the repair for management and insurers.
