Updated September 2026 · New Haven, CT
A burst pipe can dump hundreds of gallons into your house in an hour. Most happen in January and February, when a pipe in an outside wall or unheated space freezes, splits, and starts spraying once it thaws.
Call us any hour and one of our licensed plumbers will stop the leak and repair the pipe.
Call 203-654-9405 any hour, or request a callback below.
Signs you need burst pipe repair
- Water dripping or pouring from a ceiling or wall
- The sound of running water when nothing is on
- A sudden drop in water pressure throughout the house
- Frost on an exposed pipe, or no water from one faucet in freezing weather
- A water bill far higher than usual
What to do right now
- Shut off the main water valve. It's usually in the basement where the water line comes through the foundation, near the meter.
- Turn off power to any area where water is reaching outlets, fixtures or appliances.
- Open a faucet on the lowest floor to drain the water left in the pipes.
- Take photos of the damage for your insurance company before you clean up.
- Call us. Stopping the leak is step one, and the pipe still has to be repaired.
What it costs
The price depends on where the pipe broke and how much wall or ceiling has to be opened to reach it. We give you the price before work starts, including any after-hours rate.

Questions we hear a lot
Does homeowners insurance cover a burst pipe?
Most policies cover sudden water damage from a burst pipe. Damage from a slow leak that went on for months usually isn't. Call your insurer, and keep photos and the plumber's invoice.
Can I use the water after the plumber leaves?
Yes, once the damaged section is repaired and the plumber has checked for other leaks, the main can go back on.
