What should you do when a pipe bursts in your house?

When a pipe bursts in your house, shut off the main water supply immediately and call a licensed emergency plumber. Most bursts come from freezing or sudden pressure spikes that split weakened pipe walls, and fast action limits water damage. Our licensed team serves the Denver metro, including homes in Lone Tree. We answer 24/7 with a live local team, offer same-day repairs when possible, and don’t charge overtime, using durable methods like copper pipe welding and rapid leak isolation to stabilize and fix the break.

If it’s safe, take these quick steps while help is on the way:

• Turn off electricity at the breaker to any wet areas.
• Open the lowest and then highest faucets to drain the lines.
• Move belongings, use towels or a wet/dry vac, and set out fans to start drying.
• In freezing weather, raise indoor heat and open sink cabinets to warm pipes.

If your main shutoff valve hasn’t moved in years, expect minor seepage after turning it and set a pan or towel beneath it until we arrive.
