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.
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.
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.

Rating
Excellent service; efficient with good explanation with digital photo of completed cleaning.
Fast and very thorough! The technician explained everything and let me know exactly what was going on the whole time.
Jon Le has been our go-to for annual AC/heating maintenance. Always quick to schedule and they listen to our concerns when we do have them.
I called this morning (Sunday) no doubt and they were courteous and on time and the tech guy pointed out the problems within seconds and will be back Tuesday hopefully to fix the problem. Thanks
Mat BALL CAME OUT TO GIVE US AN IDEA OF HOW wATERWORKS COULD FIX OUR PROBLEM. hE WAS VERY NICE AND HELPFUL. WE AE CONSIDERING THE PLANS HE OFFERED US.
Jordan called before he got here, went right to work, cleared the drain̈, put everything back together, tested and left work space clean. Very nice young man.
Excellent service and responded to our service call less than four hours and technician was very professional. We had a clogged tub drain
I never hesitate to call The Waterworks for any of my downspout, drainage, or other needs. They’re professional, honest, and find the most efficient solution. Today, Travis was out to my house, listened to my concerns, took the time to thoroughly investigate the possible causes. He even got on a ladder to check my very full gutter!! One problem solved—just like that! What a gentleman!! I’m so grateful.
Jordan came out, scoped the downspout pipes that were clogged up, removed a bunch of roots and other debris, and also cleaned out the rock-filter box by the road that the pipes dump the water into. (Water had been pouring over our gutters during rains so we assumed the pipes were plugged up before calling Waterworks.) He did a great job and is a super nice young man! 👏👏
We had Mark here for a/c maintenance and he was very knowledgeable about what we need to do to keep our 27 year old a/c running as long as possible. We appreciate his sharing his knowledge to help us limp our system along.
Jonle Heating & Cooling is a company you can trust! All my experiences with the have been positive. Friendly, knowledgeable technicians who know their stuff. I am on a maintenance program that service my heating and cooling systems. They keep them in top shape.
Jason was very friendly and knowledgeable. He shared his findings in a way that was easy to understand and had no problem explaining anything I couldn't. His recommendations seemed based on what was best for my home and my family!
Always on time and courteous. They always explain what exactly they do or what the problem is in laymen’s terms so I understand my options.
The servicemen did a great job. He found my leak when I had another service out here that did not find it so thank you thank you thank you
Todd was my technician and he did an excellent job. I needed my sink unclogged today and nobody was able to help me except Waterworks. I’ve used this company for over 35 years in my place of business and always trusted their reliability and quality of work.
I’ve used Waterworks a few times now and have always had excellent service, problems fixed quickly and prices have always been reasonable. When I have plumbing issues Waterworks is the first company I call. John was out today to fix and replace our sump pump and did a great job!
Easy to schedule service, but price is high. It seemed like the tech made up the price on the spot. Works was well done. Great in a pinch but I would shop around if there is time.
The service man was very prompt, polite professional, and got the job done!
I called in a panick with water in my basement and the technician was out to my house in less than 2 hours on a holiday weekend.
Matt Sunnenberg did a wonderful job diagnosing the problem with our AC. He knew what the issue was before opening the compartment to show me the AC coil unit. 19 years old and the rust and decay of the unit was amassing to see. Matt explained all of our options and the cost involved. His advice to replace all of the AC components made the most sense and we felt most confident in his recommendation. Because of the delay in getting the new AC unit ordered and installed, Matt did us a big favor by adding enough Freon to our existing unit in order to keep the house cool temporarily. Thank you, Mike
The appointment couldn't have gone better. It appears that the hose from the water softener had come loose from the drain pipe and that's what was causing the water problem. Thanks for coming out . I hope the problem was taken care of. I wasnt charged as he was there for less than 15 minutes.
We have been dealing with this company for 30 years. They are top notch and all their technicians are very professional and knowledgeable. We subscribe to their maintenance contracts and as a result we have never had a breakdown. They don't try to sell you stuff that you don't need.
We have used Jonle for all our HVAC needs for many years. They are always responsive, on time, respectful of your property, and do what they say they are going to do. We highly recommend them.
Jonle was wonderful to work with from the start. Patrick was excellent- knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and quickly followed up with a quote and timeframe even though the service manager was out of the office that day. I received prompt communication the next morning about the tech’s arrival window, additional text reminders, and even a call the following morning asking if we’d like to move up our timeframe due to a cancellation. Our service tech Chad was kind, professional, got the job done quickly and spent time answering my questions & talking me through everything. I felt very confident in the work he did and information he provided. Their pricing was competitive and significantly better than one of “bigger” names out there (a company we will never be using again now that we’ve found Jonle). It was more in line with other fairly priced companies. Everything was excellent from start to finish and we will use them again in the future and also recommend to others!
Jonle 's employees are very courteous, experienced, and knowledgeable. I can always count on them when needed. They keep my system up and running!
We've been using JonLe for all our HVAC for many years. They are an A+ company with great people. The technicians are friendly, experienced, and very knowledgeable. We use their maintenance plan and get two checkups a year. Best deal ever. JonLe is a fantastic company and I never expect to use anyone else.
Matt was great and resolved my issues for a reasonable cost. AC up and running
Great experience this morning with Matt , prompt, professional,Went right to work. Diagnosed the issue, anserded my questions,made the repair. Thank You...!
Technician very polite, professional. He was on time and actually early for my scheduled appointment. I have been using Jonle for over 30 years. Never been disappointed.
Waterworks has been a true partner in all aspects of plumbing repairs. At any moment, I can call and the representatives are truly dedicated to ensuring a pleasant experience. The technicians are very professional and take the time to ensure accuracy with all repairs. I will definitely advocate Waterworks for all your plumbing repairs.
Waterworks is my go to company. I have used them many times. They are quick to respond and do a fabulous job!! Their employees are knowledgeable, and provide excellent customer service.
No complaints over the four or five years Jonle has kept our heating and AC working smoothly. Furnace broke down in the freezing weather and they were out the same day, replacing it faster than seemed possible.
JonLe has knowledge technicians who arrive on time and are very good at what they do. They explain everything being done and are proactive on all maintenance items.
We have used Jonle for 20 years and Steve has been our technician the entire time. I keep asking for Steve. He is excellent.. We've had our furnace and A/C unit replaced by Jonle and have saved money on our utility bill. I will not use any other heating company. You can trust this company to do the job right the first time.
