What You Should Do When a Pipe Bursts

First, turn off the water and wait for our experienced burst pipe repair experts to arrive. Our team at McAtee Plumbing Heating & Cooling is the best in the business when it comes to major plumbing trouble.

If the burst pipe is located in your yard, we can repair or replace the pipe without having to dig a gigantic trench in your front lawn. If it is located within your wall, we will take out as little of the wall as possible so that we can get to the pipe and perform the necessary repairs. Because we do this sort of thing often, we are also experts in replacing the drywall that we remove so you can quickly paint it and move on with your life. No one wants to have a hole in their wall, and we don’t want to leave your home in worse shape than we found it.  Our goal is to create as minimal change to your property as possible.

Also, keep in mind that we can solve piping problems that might be caused by faulty parts. We commonly encounter older, more fragile pipe materials that need to be replaced with more modern, sturdy ones. We can get around the problem in the hopes that you won’t have another issue in the future.

Warning Signs of a Burst Pipe

A ruptured pipe is an obvious, visible sign that you need repairs, but there are other, more subtle warning signs to watch out for which can help prevent extensive damage.

Common warning signs you’re at risk for a burst pipe include:

• Low water pressure: Whenever a pipe bursts, especially those located in your yard, it means that water flows outside your home rather than into it. This will cause an immediate drop in water pressure and will also result in puddles on your lawn.
• Constant clogging: Although you may not think the two are related, clogged drains and toilets could mean that you have a blockage within your pipes that could cause them to rupture.
• Noisy plumbing: Your plumbing system is supposed to work silently so as to not disturb you. Therefore, if you hear any running water, clanging, or unusual noises coming from your plumbing, it’s time to call one of our Charleston burst pipe repair experts.
• Leaks: In the majority of burst pipe cases, they begin as leaks. Any time you find wet spots puddles, it’s time to call for leak detection to prevent a burst pipe.

Additionally, if you know that you have older pipes and start to see rust-colored or smelly water, these are signs that your pipes are deteriorating fast and need to be replaced or repaired in order to prevent them from bursting.
