Broken Pipe Replacement

Broken Pipe Replacement

An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure, but a stitch in time saves nine. If the damage is done and your pipes are broken, then act quick to prevent further headache. If you don’t act quickly, a simple leak can turn into major water damage, mold growth, and costly repairs.

Whether it’s a small crack or a full-on burst, a broken pipe is never something you want to ignore. Call Mr. Rooter Plumbing to have a uniformed plumber dispatched to your home or business today.

What to do when a pipe breaks

First things first: don’t panic! While a broken pipe can feel like a crisis, quick action can minimize the damage and prevent things from getting worse. If the broken pipe is near electrical outlets, appliances, or your fuse box, turn off the electricity in that area to avoid the risk of electrocution.

With the area safe, the next thing you should do is shut off the main water supply to your house. This will stop the flow of water and prevent any more from flooding your home. Also remember to open all the faucets in your home to drain any remaining water.

Now you can call the professionals. While you wait for the plumbers in El Sobrante to arrive, use towels, buckets, or whatever you have on hand to contain the water and prevent it from spreading. The sooner you can stop the water from soaking into your floors, walls, or furniture, the less water damage you’ll have to deal with later.

What causes broken pipes?

While broken pipes can feel like a freak accident, they often happen for predictable reasons. Understanding what causes pipes to break can help you avoid these issues in the future. Here are a few common causes:

  • Freezing Temperatures: When water freezes, it expands and puts immense pressure on the pipe until it eventually cracks or bursts. To prevent this, make sure your pipes are insulated. During extreme cold snaps, let faucets drip slightly to keep water flowing and relieve pressure.
  • Corrosion: Pipes can corrode over time, and this makes them weaker and more susceptible to breaking. Repair corroded pipes early. Upgrading to modern materials like copper or PEX piping can also help prevent this issue.
  • Tree Root Intrusions: Over time, tree roots can grow into the pipes and cause cracks, blockages, or even full pipe breaks. Be mindful of where you plant trees in your yard.
  • Severe Blockages: Believe it or not, a blockage can cause significant pressure to build up inside your pipes, leading to breaks.
  • Poor Installation: If you want to hit the ground running with your plumbing system, then leave installations to the professionals!

What Our Customers Say About Us

Jovanny, Kyle, and Corin were fantastic! I have had many plumbers our over the last 10 years who have all told me that I had various problems, but their solutions never made sense. These great folks came out very fast, showed me what was wrong, fixed it quickly, charged a great price, and cleaned up everything afterwards. The plumbing is singing! I would highly recommend Mr Rooter for any service you need. It’s like when you find the honest mechanic - use them and recommend them to everybody!

I am a senior citizen that was searching for a honest and affordable company to help me with a emergency plumbing situation. All drains clogged because of damaged pipe under the house. I called a few companies but chose Mr. Rooter because of the customer service I received. All personnel at the company that I ended up dealing with treated me well and wanted to help me out. It ended up being a major job in which Fernando and Richard spent many hours under my house until they got the job done. Both Fernando and Richard went beyond great service. As you can imagine I was very stressed out with this emergency situation. Both Fernando and Richard stayed late in the day to finish as well as came back the next day to make sure everything was still working properly. They treated me like family. By the end of the day I had relationships from management to labor before the job was done. I would highly recommend this company because of the great service they provided as well as the work which ended up putting everything back on track. Thanks Fernando and Richard you’re the best !!!!!

Wesley, Manager, Frank and Marcos worked as a team, were very cordial, respectful and considerate, explained every step plus cost of what needed to be done. They answered all our questions and kept us informed of the the process during the repair. They kept a tidy work area, used tarps. After they completed each project they cleaned and removed any and all debris/parts. Wesley, Frank, and Marcos thank you for having pride by your performance .... job well done! Would I refer Mr. ROOTER Yes I would...I am a Senior and I would recommend this trust worthy company. to all Seniors! Jessica, Receptionist, returned my desperate emergency call during a holiday within 30 minutes.

We had a water leak that was damaging our house as well as our neighbors home. Our home owners warranty did not cover leak detection and our neighbors plumber couldn’t find anything when he inspected both houses. We called Mr. Rooter of Riverside late evening and they were here within an hour! Carlos P. was the technician and was very friendly and professional. He quickly set up his gear and got to work. Within minutes he found the leak and also answered every single question I had about plumbing without hesitation. I would highly recommend Mr. Rooters plumbing to any friends or family. They were the only company willing to come without days ahead appointments. Thanks again Carlos P!
