Protecting Your Interests is My Priority.

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.

BURST PIPE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

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:

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
