What it is
Burst pipe A burst pipe is a supply line that has split or cracked open, releasing pressurized water continuously into the building until the water is shut off.
A Denver homeowner should shut off the main water valve immediately, because a burst pipe can move a large amount of water through a house in a short time and every minute it runs adds to the damage.
Stop the water first, then worry about the pipe
Nothing a plumber does on site matters as much as the first sixty seconds at the shutoff valve. Turn the main clockwise until it stops. Open a low faucet to drain pressure out of the system. Then call. Damage cost scales with minutes, not with the size of the crack.
- Close the main, then open the lowest tap in the house
- Kill power to any circuit near standing water
- Photograph the damage before anything is moved, for the insurance claim
- Do not run drywall fans into a cavity that still holds pressurized pipe
What a burst pipe sounds and looks like
- Water running behind a wall with every fixture closed
- A ceiling stain that grows while you watch it
- Pressure that drops to nothing part way through a shower
- Water at the base of an exterior wall after a hard freeze
- A hissing or spraying noise in a crawlspace or utility closet
What burst pipe response includes
- Immediate isolation of the branch or the whole house
- Access cut kept as small as the repair allows
- Repair of the failed section in the existing material
- Replacement in copper or PEX when the pipe has failed from age
- Pressure test before the wall is closed back up
- Documentation you can hand to your insurance adjuster
