Water spraying from a damaged supply pipe or hose.
Burst Pipe Emergency Repair & Water Shutoff Guidance
A split or burst pipe can release large amounts of water quickly. Our team can help arrange emergency plumbing while you safely stop the flow and limit damage.
No extra weekend surcharge. Diagnostic fee waived. VIP does not add a Saturday or Sunday surcharge. Applicable service and repair costs will be explained before work begins. For a time-sensitive emergency, call instead of relying on an online appointment request.
When this plumbing problem needs urgent attention.
Burst water lines, split fittings, sudden flooding and freeze-related pipe failures.
A ceiling, wall or floor filling with water after a pipe failure.
Water damage discovered after a freeze or thaw.
A sudden change in pressure accompanied by visible leakage.
Four practical steps for your safety and your home.
Find the main water shutoff
Shut off the water supply if you can access the valve without entering a dangerous area.
Stay clear of electrical hazards
Do not touch submerged electrical appliances, switches or panels. Call emergency services or the appropriate utility if needed.
Never use an open flame
Do not use torches or flames to thaw frozen pipes. They can start fires and cause further damage.
Explain the cause and location
Share whether the line failed during freezing weather, beneath a sink, in a wall or in a crawlspace.
If you smell gas, leave immediately and contact your gas utility or emergency services from a safe place. Avoid standing water near electrical equipment or other hazards.
How the right repair is determined.
Some failures can be fixed at one joint or pipe section.
Freeze damage sometimes affects several locations, not just the first visible split.
Repair options depend on pipe material, access, condition and inspection findings.
Answers before you schedule.
What should I do first if a pipe bursts?
If safe, shut off the water supply immediately. Keep clear of electrical hazards and flooded areas.
Can VIP help with burst pipes at night?
VIP offers 24/7/365 emergency plumbing assistance. Response time depends on current dispatch availability and the address.
Is there a weekend emergency surcharge?
No extra weekend surcharge. Standard applicable service charges are separate from that policy.
Does one burst pipe mean my whole house needs repiping?
No. The extent of necessary repair can only be determined after evaluating the failed pipe and surrounding plumbing.
