Pipe already burst? Shut off your main water valve first, then call us.
What to Do If a Pipe Bursts
- Shut off the main water valve. It is usually where the water line enters your home, in a basement, crawl space or utility room.
- Turn off power to outlets and appliances near the water, but only if you can do it safely.
- Open a faucet to relieve pressure and drain the water left in the lines.
- Move belongings out of the way and start soaking up standing water.
- Call Diamond L to repair the burst pipe and check for other damage.
Signs Your Pipes Are Frozen
A frozen pipe is a burst pipe waiting to happen. Watch for:
Little or no water from a faucet
Frost on exposed pipes
Odd smells from drains
Bulging or cracked pipe sections
Wet spots on walls or ceilings
Never thaw a pipe with an open flame, torch or propane heater. It is a fire hazard and can damage the pipe. If you cannot find the frozen section, or it is inside a wall, leave it to a plumber.
Safe Frozen Pipe Thawing
We locate the frozen section, open the line and warm it gradually so the pipe does not crack as it thaws. Then we check the line for leaks before restoring full water pressure, so a hidden split does not flood your home once the ice melts.
Burst Pipe & Water Line Repair
When a pipe splits, we cut out the damaged section, replace it with new code approved pipe and pressure test the repair. If the damage is hidden behind a wall or under a floor, our leak detection service helps us find it without unnecessary demolition.
We also repair frozen outdoor spigots and main water line leaks.
How to Prevent Frozen Pipes This Winter
- Disconnect garden hoses and drain outdoor spigots before the first freeze
- Insulate pipes in crawl spaces, garages, attics and exterior walls
- Keep your thermostat at 55 degrees or higher, even when you travel
- Open cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls during cold snaps
- Let a faucet drip on the coldest nights
- Seal drafts where pipes enter the home
- Know where your main shutoff valve is before you need it
A smart thermostat can alert you if your home gets too cold while you are away.
