A burst pipe is flooding your house right now. Here is exactly what to do, and if you want us on the way, call (951) 833-3006.

What are the first steps to take when a pipe bursts?

When a pipe bursts, you need to act fast to stop more water from flooding your property. Turn off the main water valve, cut power from wet areas to avoid shock, and open a faucet downstairs to relieve pressure. Next, protect your belongings and call us. We will get a plumber to you quickly.

How do you quickly turn off the main water supply?

Look for your main shut-off valve. It is usually near where the water pipe enters your home, such as in the garage or near the street. Turn the valve clockwise firmly until it stops. If you live in an apartment or cannot access this valve, you might have individual valves for appliances like the sink or washer. Turn those off as needed.

What temporary measures help before the plumber arrives?

While you wait, contain the water using towels or buckets to keep it from spreading. Stay clear of electrical outlets and appliances that got wet. Move furniture and valuables out of the wet area or cover them.

How fast do we respond to a burst pipe in Corona?

We answer emergency calls 24 hours a day, seven days a week across Corona and the Inland Empire. Our plumbers prioritize burst pipe emergencies because every minute counts. We dispatch someone to your location as soon as possible to stop the leak and start repairs.

What are the common causes of burst pipes in Corona homes?

In Corona and the Inland Empire, pipes often burst because of old galvanized steel pipes rusting and corroding, hard water wearing pipes from the inside, or slab leaks under the foundation. These weaken pipes until they fail. Watch for early warning signs like damp spots or stains on walls and floors, gurgling or hissing from pipes, and sudden jumps in your water bill. Those usually mean a leak that could turn into a burst.

What does the emergency repair process look like?

We start by inspecting and locating the exact break or leak. Depending on the damage, we may replace a section of pipe or reroute lines around the damaged area. The goal is to stop the leak fast, get your water back on, and protect your home from more damage. Upgrading old galvanized steel pipe to modern copper or PEX is the long-term fix that prevents repeat bursts. Learn more about our emergency plumbing service.

What do emergency and after-hours calls cost?

Emergency and after-hours calls cost more than a scheduled daytime visit because we drop what we are doing and come out nights, weekends, and holidays. We always tell you the price before we start, so there are no surprises in the middle of a stressful situation.
