While waiting, move belongings away from standing water, place buckets under drips, turn off electricity near water, and take photos of the damaged area for insurance.

Yes, frozen pipes can burst during occasional hard freezes when temperatures drop into the 20s. As ice forms inside water pipes, pressure builds until the pipe bursts. Central Texas homes often lack adequate insulation around plumbing in exterior walls, garages, and attics since freezing weather is rare.

Roger's Plumbing provides rapid response during freeze events. After pipe repairs, we help insulate vulnerable plumbing and install freeze-proof faucets. Most burst water pipe failures actually come from high water pressure, corrosion, or shifting soil rather than freezing.

Our professional plumber cuts out the ruptured area, installs new pipe using materials like copper pipes or PVC, and ensures secure connections for a permanent fix. This approach is faster and less expensive than replacing entire lines.

Sometimes one failure reveals your entire system is vulnerable. If we find extensive corrosion or multiple weak points, we'll recommend replacing larger sections. Roger's Plumbing explains what your situation requires with transparent repair costs.

Repair costs vary based on the pipe's location, what caused the burst, and the extent of water damage. Water pipes under a kitchen sink or bathroom vanity cost less to repair than those inside walls, beneath floors, or underground. Access through drywall or ceilings increases costs.

Roger's Plumbing provides transparent repair costs after assessment. We stop water flowing first to prevent further damage, then explain what pipe repairs involve with upfront pricing. Acting quickly reduces costs by limiting water damage and mold growth risk.
