Burst Pipe Repair in Houston
Frozen pipes burst without warning when the temperature drops. Houston's homes were not built to withstand extended freezing, and supply lines exposed to the cold often rupture. If a pipe has already burst, stopping the water and assessing the damage is the first step.
Why this comes up in Houston
Houston freezes are rare and often unexpected, catching homeowners without insulation or protection on exposed pipes. A single night below freezing is enough to rupture hose bibs, outdoor supply lines, or pipes in uninsulated attics. If the burst is in a slab line, water runs beneath the concrete foundation and can cause foundation damage if not found quickly. Hard water corrosion also weakens copper pipes over time, making them more prone to rupture when temperatures drop.
Do this before you call
Main shutoff first, then call. If it is a freeze, do not use an open flame to thaw a pipe under any circumstances. That is how a plumbing problem becomes a house fire.
