Broken Pipe Repair in Houston

24/7 Broken Pipe Solutions

Broken pipes need to be remedied immediately because water damage adds up fast. Burst or broken pipes are a plumbing emergency, which is why you should call our team day or night if you need a broken pipe repair. At Santhoff Plumbing, our team can perform hydrostatic testing and leak detection services at a moment’s notice if you suspect a broken or leaky pipe.

From wet walls and ceilings to wood floors and even slab damage, water can do a lot of damage in a short amount of time. For hidden leaks that may not be apparent immediately, you might also be dealing with mold growth in your home, which can be dangerous for your health.

Some signs you may need pipe repair include:

  • Puddles in your home
  • Low water pressure
  • Water stains on walls
  • Discolored or rusty water
  • Suddenly high water bills

If you notice any of these signs, contact our team at (713) 360-2185 to investigate the issue. We’ll perform leak testing and isolate the problem. Then our expert plumbers repair the pipe to get you back to normal in no time.

What to do for a Broken Pipe in Your Home

When you have a broken pipe, we’ll need to remove the damaged piece from your plumbing. Then, we replace the damaged part and, depending on the material, solder it to the area for a long-lasting repair.

In some cases, a broken pipe could be a symptom that your plumbing is old and worn out, in which case you may need re-piping services unless you want to deal with frequent Houston broken pipe repair for leaks and cracks.

If you realize you have a broken or burst pipe in your home, you’ll need to act fast to help reduce any water damage. Here are some steps to take:

  • Shut off the water to your house (the shutoff valve is usually located near your water meter)
  • Open all the faucets to drain the water out of your plumbing system
  • Call our team 

Until we arrive, it’s a good idea to go around and take pictures of the damage. These can come in handy in case you need to file an insurance claim for the damage. After taking pictures, clean up any water as best as you can and take steps to remove any important items from the area to reduce the risk of water damage.

How Long Do Pipes Last?

A broken pipe could mean that your home’s plumbing is old and more vulnerable to cracks, rust, and corrosion. A lot of this depends on how old your plumbing is and the materials the builders used for the pipes.

For example, most supply pipes are made of copper, brass, or galvanized steel:

  • Copper usually lasts 50 or more years
  • Brass between 40 and 45 years
  • Galvanized steel between 20 and 50 years

Drain pipes are typically made of cast iron or PVC. Cast iron drain pipes can last anywhere from 75 to 100 while PVC can last indefinitely.

Depending on the age of your home, your pipes may begin to wear out if you need broken pipe repair. If this is the case, our team will explain the issue and help you determine the right course of action for your home, such as repiping services.
