FAQs
How do I know I have a burst pipe?
Common signs include a sudden drop in water pressure, water stains on ceilings or walls, unexplained puddles, the sound of running water when taps are off, and an unexpected spike in your water bill. If you notice any of these symptoms in your Oakdale home or business, call our emergency plumbing team immediately.
What should I do while waiting for your emergency plumber to arrive?
First, turn off the main water supply to stop further flooding. If it’s safe, switch off electricity in affected areas to reduce shock risk. Open taps to drain residual water, place buckets or towels to collect leaks, and move valuables out of harm’s way. Then, contact our 24/7 Oakdale hotline so we can dispatch a licensed plumber without delay.

Will my insurance cover the cost of repairing a burst pipe?
Most homeowner and commercial policies in Oakdale cover sudden, accidental water damage, including burst pipes, although coverage can vary. The plumber’s detailed report and photos we supply will help you file your claim. We can also work directly with many insurers to streamline the process. Always review your policy or speak with your agent for specific coverage details.
How can I prevent pipes from bursting in the future?
Insulate exposed pipes, especially in unheated areas like basements, crawl spaces, and exterior walls. Keep indoor temperatures above 55 °F during cold spells, even if you’re away. Allow a slow drip from faucets on freezing nights to relieve pressure, and have our plumbers perform annual inspections to spot corrosion, loose fittings, or weak joints before they fail.
