Common Causes of Burst Pipes
Burst pipes can happen for many reasons, but some of the most common causes include:
- Freezing Temperatures – Water inside your pipes expands when it freezes, increasing pressure and causing pipes to crack or burst. This is especially common in uninsulated or outdoor pipes.
- Aging & Corroded Pipes – Over time, pipes weaken due to rust, mineral buildup, and general wear, making them more prone to leaks and bursts.
- Tree Root Intrusion & Ground Shifts – Tree roots can invade underground pipes, while soil movement from construction or natural shifts can cause pipes to crack or break.
- Excessive Water Pressure – High water pressure puts unnecessary stress on pipes, leading to leaks and eventual bursts.
Understanding these risks can help prevent costly plumbing emergencies.Â
How to Prevent Burst Pipes
Preventative maintenance is key to avoiding major water damage and expensive repairs. Here are some steps to reduce your risk of burst pipes:
- Insulate Exposed Pipes – Use foam, rubber, or fiberglass insulation to protect pipes in basements, attics, crawl spaces, and garages.
- Monitor Water Pressure – Install a pressure regulator to ensure safe water pressure levels.
- Let Faucets Drip in Cold Weather – Running a small trickle of water prevents pipes from freezing.
- Schedule Annual Plumbing Inspections – Routine maintenance helps catch small issues before they become emergencies.
Taking these proactive steps can help save thousands in potential water damage repairs.Â
Our Process for Burst Pipe Repairs
At The Waterworks, we use advanced plumbing technology to detect, repair, and prevent burst pipe issues with minimal disruption. Depending on the location and severity of the burst, we offer:
Interior Pipe Repairs
For burst pipes inside walls, ceilings, or floors, our process includes:
- Quickly locating and isolating the leak
- Minimizing damage while accessing the affected area
- Repairing or replacing the damaged section of the pipe
- Guiding homeowners on restoring drywall or flooring if needed
Trenchless Pipe Repair (Underground Pipes)
If the burst pipe is underground, we use non-invasive methods such as:
- Pipe lining – A durable, epoxy-coated liner is inserted into the damaged pipe to seal cracks and leaks without excavation.
- Pipe bursting – A new pipe is pulled through the damaged one, replacing it without digging up your yard.
These modern solutions allow us to fix underground pipes without tearing up landscaping or driveways.
Full Pipe Replacement
For pipes that are beyond repair, we provide:
- Complete pipe replacement using high-quality, long-lasting materials
- Professional installation to prevent future plumbing failures
- Minimal disruption to your home or business
Our goal is to restore your plumbing system quickly and efficiently while keeping repair costs reasonable. Â

I’ve worked with Waterworks several times for work (a car wash). They always provide service in a timely manner, have fair pricing, are upfront and honest, and very professional.
Kevin was most knowledgeable, professional and courteous. Answered all my questions and helped me formulate a plan of action.
I made an emergency call because I couldn’t get my kitchen sink back together without leaking. The technician came out, tightened a few things and said Merry Christmas- no charge. So grateful.
My tech was professional, and the price was reasonable. Before the tech left, it appeared the problem was solved, however it turns out only part of it was. I reached out them immediately, and the tech returned the next day. He fixed all the problems on my initial complaint, found one more issue and addressed that, too. He spent a lot of time in my home, was very polite and competent. I will use Waterworks again.
Have always been pleased with Waterworks. They’ve done several jobs for us. Quick, friendly, good service for good prices that are always quoted ahead of time. Recent repair was under the kitchen sink. Came in, evaluated the problem, got materials from the truck, and had the job done in about an hour. Very satisfied.
Technician was on time and courteous and friendly. He answered my questions fully and knowledgeably. Pleased with Jonle for sure.
My tenants did not have working water over the weekend and no vendors were available. Waterworks were able to come out on the same day and get the repairs and water turned back on within hours. Susan from dispatch is wonderful and techs Jeff Nick and Tommy were very communicative and got the job done. I would 1000% reccomend to anyone for after hours or over the weekend emergencies.
Peter was right on time, very personable, and clearly explained what he had to do to replace the corroded pipe under my bathroom sink. He wasted no time getting the job done. I am very satisfied with his work and happy to have a functioning sink upstairs again!
Had a busted water pipe replaced. Technician was fantastic and did a great job. I used Waterworks for the same problem last year. I think the pricing has substantially increased from last year. The do a really good job, so I would still recommend.
We have been with JonLe for over 3 years now. Love the promptness, respectful and excellent service, and the connection they maintain in reminding us to have someone check and service our equipment for longevity. Couldn't be happier.
Noah did a great job doing our Fall/Winter HVAC checkup today! He was very prompt, checked everything thoroughly and made sure we had no questions afterward. We appreciated his professionalism and kindness throughout. Highly recommend JonLe!
So happy with Jonlee and the technician that solved the gas leak in my furnace. They were able to fit me in and were onsite within 2 hours!! Phenomenal!
Was timely, courteous, and reasonably priced. Provided a clear diagnosis. Couldn’t fix because my system appears to be obsolete 😭😭😭
Great company timely, polite, knowledgeable. Would recommend giving them a call so much better than other plumbing companies.
Excellent next day service. Showed up on time. Service tech, Ivan, was fantastic and seemingly has solved the issue. Impressed that he triple checked his results before leaving. 3rd time they've done work for us and they're great.
They have done a lot of work for me over the years. They don’t replace things that don’t need replacing. They give a fair price and do great work
JonLe Heating and Air Conditioning serviced my furnace. I could not have been happier that the problem was relatively minor. They were professional fast and reliable. I will use them from now on. Its hard to trust any company but I feel I have found a reliable source for my needs.
JonLe installed a whole house humidifier. They were responsive, answered all my questions, and the customer service was excellent. Technicians showed up on time, were professional, and cleaned up after themselves. I even purchased their maintenance plan. Great company and I’m happy to give them my business going forward.
John the technician was courteous, knowledgeable, and efficient! I have used Waterworks in the past and would highly recommend this company for any of your plumbing needs !
Great service ! Tech did a amazing ing job and cleaned up the job site when he was done. We really appreciate your guys expertise. Thank you.
Called JonLe to fix furnace. Thermostat was calling for heat and fan was running, but no combustion. Technician arrived within 2 hr and identified problem as the inducer motor not working. It had seized. He was able to manually get it turning again and lubricated it to get it running. He recommended ordering a replacement because it would likely fail again. I agreed and he returned next day to install the new one. Furnace is working great. Have used JonLe for 20 yr as they installed the furnace when we built our house. Very satisfied with their service plan on my furnace and air conditioner. Happy to recommend them.
Very responsive, on-time and kept us informed throughout entire process.
We have a maintenance plan with the same technician for our home and a condo. They are efficient and easy to schedule.
The technician seemed very thorough, explaining everything he checked. He showed pictures of the unit and what he checked and mentioned things to look for. My husband was impressed with his work ethic.
Called at 9am because furnace was not working properly. They had it fixed and running within 5 hours of my phone call. Reasonable price. Great service.
They called before the appointment to confirm which is awesome! Efficient, clean, and professional.
Cory did an excellent job maintaining our heat pump and humidifier.
Very good company with good people trying to do the right things for their customers.
Extremely kind and quick emergency service. I really appreciate the service on a Sunday after a big snow storm! The extra effort they went to in sending me a bio and picture of my technician really solidified the quality service and my comfort level during a time of high anxiety.
