Why it happens
Why pipes burst on Long Island
Winter freezes. Water expands as it freezes. Lines in crawl spaces, garages and along outside walls are the first to go when temperatures drop overnight.
Old fittings. Many Long Island homes still have aging galvanized pipe and fittings that corrode from the inside until a joint gives out.
Water pressure. Pressure that's too high, or a failing pressure-reducing valve, strains every joint in the house.

FAQ
Burst pipe questions
What should I do first when a pipe bursts?
Shut off the main water valve to stop the flow. Then cut power to wet areas if it's safe, open faucets to drain the lines, move valuables, take photos for insurance and call us.
Do you offer burst pipe repairs at night and on weekends?
Yes. We're available 24/7, including nights, weekends and holidays. Call or text 631-933-1790.
How do I know if a pipe has frozen before it bursts?
Little or no water from a faucet in cold weather, frost on an exposed pipe, or a bulge in the line are warning signs. Keep the faucet open and call us before thawing it with an open flame.
Will I know the cost of burst pipe repairs before you start?
Yes. We give you a flat-rate price and you approve it before work begins. For many problems we can price it on a free video call first.
Will my insurance cover a burst pipe?
Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your insurer. Photos of the damage taken before cleanup and a written repair invoice from us help with the claim.
How do I keep pipes from bursting again?
Insulate pipes in unheated spaces, add heat tape where lines run along outside walls, keep the heat on when you're away and disconnect garden hoses before winter. We'll point out the weak spots when we're there.
