Our plumbers usually repair burst pipes by replacing the damaged section.

Depending on the extent of the damage, we may also advise further preventative measures to avoid future issues.
Pipes freeze and burst primarily due to extremely low temperatures. When water inside of the pipes starts to freeze, it will then expand and exert pressure on the pipe walls. If the pressure becomes too great, it can cause the pipe to crack or burst. Unfortunately, frozen and burst pipes are a common phenomenon in the greater Geneva, IL area.

How long it will take to repair a burst pipe will depend on the extent of the damage. It can take several hours to several days depending on many different factors including the size, the location, the amount of damage, material, and age of the pipe(s).
What happens when a pipe bursts in your house is likely to damage your walls, floors, ceilings, belongings, and possibly even severe flooding. Pipe bursts happen for a variety of reasons including freezing cold temperatures, damage to the pipes or too much pressure on them.
