A burst pipe can release hundreds of gallons of water into your home in a matter of minutes. Our Greenville emergency team responds fast to stop the damage and make the repair.
The first few minutes matter most when a pipe bursts. Here's what to do while help is on the way.
Stopping the water supply at the source is the single most important step to limit damage.
If water is near outlets or fixtures, shut off power to that area at the breaker if it's safe to do so.
Relocate furniture, electronics, and belongings out of the path of spreading water if possible.
The faster we're on the way, the less water damage your Greenville home will sustain.
Pipes typically burst due to a combination of aging material, corrosion, or sudden pressure changes. In the Upstate, occasional winter cold snaps can freeze exposed pipes in crawl spaces or garages, and freezing water expands with enough force to split even a sturdy pipe.
Older galvanized pipes are also more prone to bursting as corrosion thins the pipe walls over decades. Whatever the cause, our team repairs the immediate break and can advise on whether the surrounding pipe section needs additional attention to prevent a repeat failure.
For most Greenville-area emergencies, our team aims to arrive within an hour of your call.
Cost depends on the pipe's location and the extent of the damage. We provide a written estimate once we've assessed the break.
If the burst pipe is on the hot water side, shutting off your water heater can help prevent it from continuing to heat with no water flow.
Many policies cover sudden pipe bursts, though coverage varies. We can provide documentation of the repair for your insurance claim.
Call immediately for emergency response β every minute counts.
