FAQs
What should I do if I notice a broken pipe in my home?
The first step is to shut off your main water supply to prevent additional damage. Next, try to remove any standing water to reduce the risk of mold or structural issues. Finally, call an emergency plumbing service promptly to have a professional inspect the damage and recommend the best solution.
How quickly can your emergency plumbing team arrive at my location in Cleveland?
We understand that broken pipes and water leaks can’t wait, so we strive to arrive on-site within the shortest time possible—usually within an hour for emergencies within Cleveland. We always advise customers to call as soon as they detect a problem so we can offer timely assistance.
What are common causes of broken pipes?
Pipes often break due to freezing temperatures, corrosion, high water pressure, or shifting ground. In Cleveland, harsh winter conditions can lead to frozen pipes that expand and crack. Regular maintenance and inspections can help identify weak spots before they become serious issues.
How do you repair or replace a broken pipe?
The type of repair depends on the extent of the damage. In many cases, we cut out the damaged section and replace it with new piping, ensuring a watertight seal. If the entire pipe is compromised, full replacement might be necessary. Our trained technicians use advanced tools and methods to minimize the impact on your home.
Is a broken pipe covered by homeowner’s insurance?
Homeowner’s insurance policies vary. Generally, sudden and accidental pipe breaks are covered, but gradual issues from lack of maintenance may not be. It’s best to review your policy documents and consult with your insurance provider to determine coverage specifics.
Do I need a professional plumber, or can I fix a broken pipe myself?
While small leaks can sometimes be temporarily patched with DIY solutions, a full repair or replacement should be handled by a licensed professional to ensure the integrity of your plumbing system. Improper fixes can lead to recurring leaks, water damage, and higher repair costs down the line.
