Brampton Burst Pipe Repair

A pipe that freezes and splits, or a fitting that gives up, can release a lot of water in minutes. Repair is quick once the water is off; preventing it next winter matters too.

Where pipes burst in Brampton houses

  • Supply lines in exterior walls, especially under kitchen windows
  • Pipes running through garages or over unheated crawlspaces
  • Outdoor hose bibs left connected to a hose over winter
  • Lines near poorly insulated rim joists in the basement

What we do

After the main is off and the area is safe, we cut out the split section and replace it with new copper or PEX and proper fittings. We look for a reason: a frozen pipe usually means cold air is reaching it, so we suggest insulation, heat tape or rerouting. If the burst was from corrosion, we check the rest of the run.

  1. Make the area safe and confirm the main is off.
  2. Cut out damaged pipe and repair.
  3. Pressure test and check for other weak spots.
  4. Recommend ways to stop a repeat.

Thawing a frozen pipe safely

If a tap gives no water on a cold morning, the pipe may be frozen but not yet split. Open the tap, then bring warmth to it slowly using a hair dryer, or a space heater set well back. Never use an open flame.

After a freeze, the leak often appears only when the pipe thaws. Keep checking for a few hours after water returns.

Questions we get

Will insurance cover a burst pipe?

Many home policies cover sudden water damage, but coverage varies, and damage from heat being left off can be excluded. Check your policy.
