In most cases, burst pipes are covered by home insurance, but it will depend on the specifics of your policy.

Standard homeowners insurance policies typically cover sudden and accidental water damage that results from burst pipes. This could include damage to your home’s structure, as well as damage to your personal belongings. However, it’s important to note that not all policies are the same, and some may have limitations or exclusions for certain types of water damage.

Additionally, some insurance policies may only cover burst pipes if you can prove that you took reasonable steps to prevent the damage from occurring. For example, if you left your home unattended and unheated during freezing weather and the pipes burst as a result, your insurance company may not cover the damage.

If you are unsure about whether the damage to your home is covered by your insurance policy, contact us. We can review the coverage provided by your policy and advise you accordingly. Our claim review and consultation is free.

What are the common causes of burst pipes?

Burst pipes can be caused by a variety of factors, but some of the most common causes include the factors listed here.

It’s important to keep an eye out for signs of potential pipe problems, such as leaks, reduced water pressure, or discoloration in your water. Also note that not all burst pipe damage are covered by insurance. When taking out an insurance policy, clarify which events are covered by your policy. If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to have them addressed promptly to prevent more serious problems from occurring.

Freezing temperatures: When the water inside a pipe freezes, it expands, putting pressure on the pipe walls. If the pressure becomes too great, the pipe can burst. You can read more about frozen pipes here.
Corrosion: Over time, pipes can corrode and weaken, making them more susceptible to bursting.
Age: Pipes that are old or deteriorating may be more likely to burst.
Water pressure: If the water pressure in your pipes is too high, it can cause stress on the pipes and eventually lead to a burst.
Physical damage: Pipes can be damaged by accidental impacts from construction or landscaping work, as well as by the movement of the house’s foundation.
Clogs: Clogs can cause pressure to build up in the pipes, which can eventually lead to a burst.

"Hey guys, DON'T even waste your time trying anyone else! Joel is above and beyond. He delivered as promised. I had a tree fall on my house with a substantial amount of damage while trying to claim my insurance with a different adjuster before knowing about Joel. That adjuster had sent me an email a couple of days later stating that, after looking into the case, he wouldn't suggest filing a claim due to the 5% deductible on the policy. BUT Joel took over and delivered FULL COVERAGE!! AMAZING JOB!!"

Yumi F.

Short and sweet, can't ask for a better public adjuster then Joel and his amazing team!!

shimon p.

"I recently had the experience of working with Joel and his team at JF Public Adjusters on my insurance claim, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of service I received! From start to finish, they were amazing to work with, going above and beyond to maximize my claim. Their expertise and advocacy resulted in a significantly higher settlement than I would have received on my own. What truly sets them apart, however, is their commitment to customer satisfaction. Joel and his team worked tirelessly to ensure I was 100% satisfied with the outcome. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and kindness made a stressful process so much easier. And the best part? The small fee they charge is well worth it - every penny and more! I highly recommend Joel and his team at JF Public Adjusters to anyone dealing with an insurance claim. They are truly in your corner, fighting for what you deserve. Thank you, Joel and team, for an exceptional experience!

Abraham

Joel, I cannot speak highly enough of your public adjuster company. From the moment I engaged your services, you exhibited an exceptional level of knowledge and expertise in handling my case from beginning to end. Your service was nothing short of fabulous, and your kindness and professionalism made the entire process much smoother. I highly recommend your company to anyone in need of assistance with insurance claims or property damage. Thank you for the outstanding support! Abraham & Sarah

Shaindy M.

We had a burst pipe that caused damage to several rooms in our home. We hired JF Public Adjusters to take care of the claim for us and they did not disappoint. Joel and his team were on top of the claim from start to end. They were meticulous and made sure to account for all claim-related damage. The insurance company tried to give us a hard time, not just by sending us a lowball offer but also refusing to negotiate or acknowledge the reasons why we deserved more. Fortunately, Joel assured us that we were in the right and that we would take it all the way to legal if we had to. We got exactly what Joel said he'd get us. We expected them to be good but they really knocked it out of the park.

Eric W.

We were fortunate to find Joel to help us with our homeowners insurance claim. He worked diligently over the course of a few months to ensure that we received a fair settlement that covered the entire cost of our repairs. I appreciate the guidance, honesty, and integrity that he provided as our advocate. Hiring Joel was the single best decision we made in a long time. If I have another claim in the future, Joel will be the only person I will call.

G F.

We had a fantastic experience with Joel. He is knowledgeable, experienced, and made the entire claim process easy. Highly recommend!

Danny W.

I highly recommend JF Public Adjusters ! They are knowledgeable, professional and best in the business !

Anthony

Joel and his team did a phenomenal job. Recovered much more than I thought I would from the insurance company with no stress. Joel did it all from start to finish. Don’t try and deal with the insurance company on your own as you will be outclassed very quickly. Hire a professional to get it done right.

dina o.

Yehuda K.

If I could leave a 10 star review I would! Joel is a true expert in navigating the insurance claim process. From the moment we discovered the damage in our basement all the way through the end, Joel was there to guide us and answer our questions. The amount we received was way more than if we would have tried submitting the claim ourselves. I would absolutely recommend JF Public Adjusters!

John R.

We have been dealing with JOEL for about the last 7 months. I have to say he has been UNBELIEVABLE, everything he said to do, we listened & Everything he said would happen did! HE TOLD ME WHAT TO EXPECT with the $$ outcome and HE WAS DAMN NEAR TO THE DOLLAR. My wife & I are so very fortunate to have worked with JOEL and his team at JF PUBLIC ADJUSTERS , we will be telling family & friends to use them from now on if/when it's time to tackle the Big Insurance companies WHO DO NOT WANT TO GIVE YOU YOUR RIGHTFUL PAYOUT!!! THANK YOU JOEL , now we can rebuild and not have to worry about anything!! Sincerely, John & Jenny

Shlomie S.

Hiring JF adjuster for my insurance claim, was one of the wises desicions I ever made! When I discovered a sewer backup in my new basement at my home in Spring Valley, NY this past September, I was lost and froze! My beautiful new basement that was furnished with new furniture, a new kitchen, and appliances, is now flooded with 6 inches of sewer and rain water. The Sukkos holiday is just a few hours away, and what are we doing now? The entire basement is full of dirty water, with the smell traveling through the entire house. I quickly reached out to my insurance broker and he gave me Joel's private cell number. From the very first second that I spoke to Joel, the situation has turned around from disastrous to salvation! Joel assured me that all will be taken care asap! Although, Joel is located some 40 miles away from my home, he got a restoration company come over within a short time for no charge; vacuumed out all the water, turned on fans to dry the floors and walls, and the smell was gone! We got the insurance claims adjuster come over with Joel within a week, and within a short period of time, we had a check in our hands with full reimbursement on our loss! Joel was patients and available to assist any hour of the day or night. His constant positive reassurance that we'll get the claim approved, was the best and most helpful relief throughout this journey!

Diane p.

Joel was very professional, reliable and helpful with the water damage we had in our home. We highly recommended him.

Joe C.

When had to file a claim with our insurance company earlier this year, we were thankful to have Joel and his team on our side. We decided to contact JF Public Adjusters since the insurance company was giving us a really difficult time. When we met Joel we could tell he cared about his clients. He explained the process each step of the way and answered any questions we had. He is knowledgeable, detailed oriented, and worked well with the insurance company. He is driven and will pursue your case to the end to maximize your claim. The claim took awhile to close, due to insurance delays, but I know we wouldn’t be where we are today without Joel’s assistance.

aviva f.

Joel was super helpful throughout the process. He came down promptly to do an assessment and then took care of all the legwork with the claim. He communicated with us throughout the process and was a pleasure to work with. We were thrilled with his work and the results.

Kevin M.

Hire JF Public Adjusters if you have a home insurance claim. A large tree fell on our home causing significant damage. We had never used a public adjuster before and so to google it was - thankfully we found Joel and JF Public Adjusters. Joel was transparent, brought on some great people, and did not stop working for our claim from the moment we hired him until everything was done and resolved. Really thorough and knowledgeable, we felt safe having him in our corner. He was so good every time we tell the story of the tree we tell people to hire him, no question. Yes, they're that good. JF Public Adjusters should be you, your family, and your neighbors' go to for home insurance claims.

Kiki

After speaking to a number of public adjusters, I had the best experience with Joel. He was more knowledgeable, honest, realistic, responsive and efficient. I find that it’s always best to deal directly with the owner of the company. I got great advice and personalized service, so I can highly recommend him!

Arthur Y.

I would highly recommend Joel and his company. He did an amazing job assessing the damages and formulating an honest and realistic expectation. He walked me through the process and was able to deliver results quicker than anticipated.

Avi G.

Joel is absolutely an amazing adjuster! He ovver delivered on everything. Great communication. He explained every single step of the process and made me feel extremely comfortable. I would highly recommend.

andrew t.

Joel is a Man of integrity! It’s not very often that you find someone who is willing to fight for your claim in such a professional and detail oriented way. He was upfront with expectations right from the beginning of the claim. The amount of work required to gather all the information necessary so that you can be represented correctly, can not be measured.

Sharon C.

I recommend JFP Public Adjusters. Joel came through with everything that he promised. When he viewed the damages he was able to point out further damages that I would have not been aware of. He was able to pin point damages that were not readily visible That being said, he went back and forth with the insurance company until all damages were satisfied accordingly. If needed, I would use Joel again. It was surely a process but worth the wait.

Thomas D.

Very knowledgeable and professional. And we recommend on any loss to hire JF Public Adjusters

Jacob G.

Was a pleasure dealing with you guys.Great service very professional high-end. I had a leak in my house in Middletown New York they came the inspected they help them guided me with everything thank you

This company was upfront and transparent. Joel told us exactly what to expect and he was right on the money. Our claim took quite some time to settle, due to the insurance company, but Joel and his team fought for us. He was very accommodating and kept us up to date whenever there was new information. Joel is a true professional and we recommend him highly!!

Tara M.

Very professional and made the entire process seamless. We would have never been able to accomplish this on our own. Always working hard on our behalf. Highly recommend!

S C.

Joel is the ultimate professional in this space, his knowledge is superior and he really cares about people. I had a claim denied related to water damage. He carefully guided me on steps to take and went out of his way to make sure he could do everything in his ability to help get the denial overturned - and guess what, it did. Amazing.

guido b.

I recently experienced a stressful situation with a pipe leak in my kitchen, but thanks to the prompt response and professional assistance from Joel and his exceptional team, particularly Ariel, the mitigation and restoration process was handled seamlessly. I cannot emphasize enough how valuable their services were in helping me maximize my insurance claim. From the moment I contacted Joel, his team showed up promptly at my residence in Stony Point, NY. Ariel, with his expertise and knowledge in mitigation and restoration, confidently took charge of the situation. he quickly assessed the damage caused by the leak and formulated a comprehensive plan to address it efficiently. Throughout the entire process, Joel and the team displayed a high level of professionalism and dedication. They meticulously ensured that every step of the mitigation and restoration process was executed with precision, leaving no room for error. They utilized advanced techniques and equipment, guaranteeing the most effective and thorough restoration possible. What truly set Joel and his team apart was their commitment to helping me maximize my insurance claim. They understood the importance of advocating for me and worked diligently with my insurance provider to ensure that all necessary repairs and replacements were covered. Their efforts went above and beyond, ultimately saving me a significant amount of time, money, and stress.

Truong P.

Highly recommend and would absolutely call again if God forbid we had another claim.

Gerrie H.

My family had a major fire a little over 2 months ago, we had renters insurance however we never had the need to file a claim until said fire, and to say we were lost as to how to proceed was and understatement, a friend suggested using a public adjuster. I started my research and came across JF Public Adjusters. I read the reviews and decided to reach out, it was the best move I’d ever made, from day one Joel was very professional and attentive, he literally took the burden off me of having to navigate an unfamiliar territory, he communicated with me at every step about what’s next or what to expect. This past week we received a check in the mail for the maximum coverage of our insurance, we are still stunned because we weren’t expecting the max amount. We will forever be grateful to Joel and his team. We highly recommend reaching out to JF Public Adjusters should you ever have the need for a public adjuster’s services, I promise you won’t be disappointed. Truly grateful Gerrilyn Woodley

What should I do if I discover a burst pipe in my home?

If you discover a burst pipe in your home, it’s important to act quickly to minimize the damage. Here are the steps you should take:

1. Shut off the water supply

The first thing you should do is turn off the main water supply to your home to prevent any more water from entering the affected area. You can usually find the shut-off valve near your water meter or where the main water line enters your home.

2. Turn off electricity

If the burst pipe is near any electrical outlets or appliances, turn off the electricity to that area of your home to avoid electrocution.

3. Call a plumber

Contact a licensed plumber to repair the burst pipe as soon as possible. A professional plumber will be able to assess the damage, identify the cause of the burst, and make the necessary repairs to the pipe.

4. Remove water and dry the area

Contact a restoration company to remove the water and dry the area. Often, there is more damage than what you can see. Failure to detect and mitigate damp would likely result in mold growth and further damage to your home.

5. Contact your insurance company

If the burst pipe has caused significant damage to your home, you should contact your insurance company to file a claim. Be sure to take photos of the damage and keep any receipts or documentation related to the repair and restoration process.

6. Contact a public adjuster

A public adjuster will review the damage and the terms of your insurance policy and advise whether the damage is covered. Your public adjuster will manage the claim, ensuring you receive the best possible outcome.

When faced with burst pipe damage, there are 2 things you must not do. First, do not ignore the damage. Ignoring a burst pipe can lead to significant water damage and mold growth. Address the issue as soon as possible to prevent further structural damage to the property.

Second, don’t attempt to fix it yourself. Unless you’re experienced in plumbing repairs, trying to fix a burst pipe yourself could make the situation worse. It’s best to leave it to the professionals.
