Burst Pipe Repair Surrey

There are so many reasons that can cause burst pipes. As a Canadian, no matter where you live, it’s crucial to be wary of the consistently freezing temperatures. However, there are many other causes of a burst pipe. Your home or business may have burst pipes due to:

• Root intrusion
• Poor installation
• Freezing temperatures
• Clogged pipes
• Old age
• Soil shifting
• Excess water pressure

When we perform our burst pipe drain repair services, we can help identify the cause of the pipe burst to prevent it from occurring in the future.

Surrey homes all experience different levels of damage with a burst pipe. Whether you have extreme water damage or require pipe replacement services, the cost of your Surrey burst pipe repair service will depend on the labour, tools, and equipment needed to complete the project. For an accurate project cost, schedule a consultation with our diagnostic experts. Our plumbers will be able to determine an upfront cost once they have assessed the repair solution for your plumbing pipes. Rest assured our rates are always fair and reasonable.

The amount of time our burst pipe repair service will take is dependent on the extent and location of your damage. Once we’ve inspected and diagnosed the problem, we’ll provide you with an expected timeline for the repair. Rest assured that we will do everything in our power to get your repair completed as quickly as possible, but it’s also important that we don’t rush. A rushed job can result in shoddy workmanship that will simply cost you more money down the road.

During our burst pipe repair service, we’ll use a wide range of tools and materials. The exact materials used will vary on a case-by-case basis, but we may use some of the following:

• Plumbing video camera device
• Pipe cutter
• PEX pipes and fittings
• Copper pipes and fittings
• Deburring tool
• Wrench
• Insulation
• Steel wool
• Metal file
• Pliers
• Soldering machine and paste
• Pipe relining system
• Hydraulic pipe bursting system

The worst time to be looking up what to do when you have a burst pipe is when you actually have a ruptured water line. Knowing this information in advance is the best way to avoid water damage:

1. Cut off the water supply: To stop water flow through the damaged line, you’ll need to turn off the main water shutoff valve. If a large volume of water has been collected in your home near sources of electricity, it’s a good idea to turn off power as well.
2. Turn on a faucet: Locate the faucet closest to your shutoff valve and turn it on to drain your lines of water.
3. Give us a call: Pick up the phone and dial us to get in touch with us. We’ll send someone out right away and walk you through instructions to minimize damage.
4. Mop up water: If water has been collected, clean it up as best you can right after getting off the phone with us. The longer water is allowed to sit and seep into your floor and walls, the greater the damage will be.

To stop the flow of water, you need to locate your main water shutoff valve. We strongly recommend knowing where to locate this valve at all times so that you’re not stuck searching for it in the middle of a plumbing emergency. There are typically two places you’ll find this valve: next to your water meter or next to your tank.

The valve is usually controlled by a lever that must be moved 90 degrees. When on, the lever will be in line with the pipe. To close it, pull the lever to the right so that it is perpendicular to the pipe.

Costly repairs associated with ruptured water lines in Surrey are largely preventable. If you own an older Surrey home, you’re more likely to experience issues due to older plumbing systems, but there are still steps you can take to catch issues before they turn into a full-fledged plumbing emergency.

Insulating your lines can prevent them from freezing during cold weather. There are several different types of insulating material that can be used, so be sure to discuss options with our expert plumbers to determine the right insulation type for your Surrey home’s plumbing system. Unheated basement, attic, and garage lines tend to be more susceptible to freezing.

Additionally, regular maintenance and inspections performed by your local Mr. Rooter plumber are recommended especially for older homes. Our video camera inspection service can identify areas where routine maintenance may be needed, as well as identify small cracks before they expand.

You’re generally responsible for a burst pipe repair in Surrey. The city’s main water line runs beneath the streets. Connected to this main line are water lines that extend to each property. Any plumbing problems that occur beyond the main line and past your property’s water meter are your responsibility. If the main line bursts, it won’t just be your home’s water pressure that is affected, but many other residents’ water pressure as well, in which case the city will be responsible for the repairs.

Whether or not you’ll be able to make a claim with your home insurance company after receiving our Surrey burst pipe repair service is largely dependent on your policy. Different insurance policies cover different types of damage and have different deductibles.

That being said, many insurance policies do cover accidental plumbing damage. This means that the rupture must have occurred through no negligence of your own. We encourage you to get in touch with your insurance company to see what you’re covered for and make changes to your policy as needed.
