Has your home ever suffered from a burst pipe? If you’ve found yourself watching helplessly as water pools around your washing machine, you’re not alone. Many homeowners face the frustration and stress that come with a pipe burst in the house. But just because it’s common doesn’t make the experience any less painful. That’s where ANR Restoration steps in.
We’ll take care of the water damage caused by broken pipes in your home, whether it’s a busted pipe under your house or a burst pipe in the ceiling. We are equipped to handle everything from burst pipe cleanup and broken water pipe repair to restore your home to its original condition.
Quick Action is Key to Limiting Damage!
No matter the source of the water damage, we've got you covered.
Whether your pipe bursts in the wall, basement, or elsewhere, the most important thing you can do is act fast. The longer water damage sits, the worse it becomes. Here’s a list of potential sources of water damage to be aware of:
- Unexpected Flooding
- Heavy Rain or Storm Damage
- Leaking Roofs
- Backed-Up Sewer Drain
- Dishwasher or Washing Machine Overflows
- Overflowing Toilets
- Bathtubs or Sinks
- Hot Water Tank Floods
- Crawlspace or Basement Water Damage
- Sump Pump Failures
Why Do Pipes Burst?
Winter often brings freezing temperatures, and water pipe bursts are common during these colder months. Water expands when it freezes and puts pressure on your pipes. If the pressure becomes too great, it can lead to pipe breakage or cracks, which results in leaking and flooding.
Consider insulating unheated areas like garages or basements or wrapping the pipes themselves. This is especially important if you plan to leave your house unattended, as a broken water pipe in your house while you’re away can cause extensive damage.
Here's what you can do to prevent frozen pipes:
- Keep your home at a warm temperature
- Allow warm air to circulate around pipes, such as by leaving cabinet doors open.
- Let faucets drip to keep water flowing and avoid freezing.
Whatever your crisis, we can handle it.

Handling a Burst Pipe
If you find yourself dealing with a burst pipe, the first thing you should do is shut off the water. Find the water valve connected to the pipe or appliance and stop the flow of water. If significant damage has already occurred, such as a pipe burst basement flood, or you notice a water pipe burst inside the house, it’s essential to call professionals such as ANR Restoration for help.
The longer you wait, the worse the damage will become. Burst pipe water damage can ruin furniture, cause structural damage, and lead to mold growth. Our experts will remove the excess water, dry all affected areas, and restore your home to prevent further damage.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What can I do to prevent frozen pipes?
Leaving sink cabinet doors open allows warm air to circulate around pipes, which can help prevent them from freezing. Wrapping exposed pipes can also provide extra protection.
How can I thaw frozen pipes before they burst?
If your pipes are frozen but haven’t burst, apply gentle heat to the affected area using a space heater or hair dryer. Do not use an open flame.
What areas of the house are most vulnerable to frozen pipes?
Pipes running along exterior walls, especially below ground level, are prone to freezing and bursting during cold weather.
How cold does it have to get to cause pipes to freeze?
Temperatures 20 degrees Fahrenheit or less, sustained for three days or more, are likely to cause frozen pipes. If the weather is also windy, any temperature below 32 degrees Fahrenheit can also create a frozen pipe situation.
What can I do to protect my outdoor faucets from freezing?
Inexpensive styrofoam spigot covers go a long way to prevent the adjacent plumbing from freezing, as well as draining any water from those faucets after shutting off their water supply inside the building. Most homeowners forget this important step, only to have their basements or crawl spaces flood in the spring when they turn their outdoor faucets on for the first time after winter.
What happens when a pipe bursts in my home?
When a pipe bursts, it can cause significant water damage, especially if the problem isn’t addressed quickly. If you notice water damage from a burst pipe anywhere in your home, contact us immediately to address all damaged areas.
How do you fix a burst pipe?
Our team will first turn off the water supply to prevent further flooding. Then, we’ll assess the damage and determine the best approach—whether it’s a simple patch or if we need to repair or replace anything.
What should I do if my house is flooded because of a burst pipe?
If your house is flooded due to a burst pipe, it’s important to act quickly. First, turn off the water supply and power to avoid electrical hazards. If it’s safe, try to move valuable items and prevent the water from spreading. Then, give us a call—our emergency response team will be there as soon as possible to stop the leak, remove the water, and begin the cleanup process.
How can I prevent a burst pipe in the future?
Preventing burst pipes involves regular maintenance, like insulating vulnerable pipes, ensuring proper water pressure, and keeping your home warm during cold months to avoid freezing. If you live in an area with harsh winters, it’s especially important to take precautions, such as letting faucets drip on very cold nights and making sure any exposed pipes are properly insulated.
