Water pressure dropped at every fixture at once

Signs to look for
When to call us for burst pipe cleanup
With clear direction, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
You hear water running with every tap and fixture closed
As the property gets back on track, a steady rush or hiss inside a wall cavity with nothing turned on means the supply side is open somewhere.
Water is spraying rather than dripping
From cleanup toward a fresh start, a fan of water out of a wall, a ceiling seam or a light opening is pressure at work.
The wet area grew several feet while you watched
As the property gets back on track, supply water arrives by the gallon, not the drop. From cleanup toward a fresh start, anything spreading visibly in minutes is still being fed.
The water heater will not stop running
From cleanup toward a fresh start, a break on the hot side pulls heated water out continuously, so the burner or element never satisfies.
Rust colored or gritty water came out first
For a smoother recovery, a sudden rupture flushes scale and sediment loose from the inside of the line.
What happens
How we handle burst pipe cleanup
Our guided-recovery team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
Valve guidance before the truck moves
For a smoother recovery, we identify the closest valve that will actually stop your break, which is often the main rather than a fixture valve.
Plumber coordination and a written recovery guide boundary
With clear direction, we sequence with the plumber you called, or tell you plainly that you need one first.
Tracing the spread path from the break point
For a smoother recovery, the survey starts where the pipe failed and follows the top plate, the joist bay and the wall cavity outward.
Removal of the volume the line delivered
With clear direction, truck mounted extractors and submersible pumps take out bulk water first. As the property gets back on track, depth and free standing water go before anything else gets touched.
Cavity access at and around the break
With clear direction, the plumber's access hole is sized for a repair, not for drying.
Wet insulation removal in the affected bays
From cleanup toward a fresh start, saturated fiberglass batts hold water against framing and stop insulating.

Understanding the cost
What can affect the price
With clear direction, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. With clear direction, these examples show what may change the estimate.
| Common situation | What the estimate may include | Typical range |
|---|---|---|
| Burst supply line caught within the hour, one room, clean water | For a smoother recovery, national estimate. As the property gets back on track, extraction, limited cavity access and three to four days of drying. | $1,200 to $3,500 |
| Burst pipe that ran unattended, several rooms on one level | For a smoother recovery, national estimate. With clear direction, multi room extraction, material removal, four to six drying days and daily monitoring. | $3,500 to $9,000 |
| Break above a finished ceiling with water into the level below | For a smoother recovery, national estimate. From cleanup toward a fresh start, two wet levels, ceiling drywall loss and contents protection on the lower floor. | $2,500 to $8,000 |
| Burst pipe cleanup priced by affected area, clean supply water | For a smoother recovery, national estimate. With clear direction, measured wet area rather than the size of the room. | $3 to $7 per square foot |
| Wet drywall and insulation removal at the break | For a smoother recovery, national estimate. As the property gets back on track, controlled cuts, bagging and disposal, before any rebuild. | $1.50 to $4.00 per square foot |
| Subfloor and hardwood assembly drying by mat system, per room | For a smoother recovery, national estimate. From cleanup toward a fresh start, specialty panels and monitoring to save the floor rather than replace it. | $1,500 to $5,000 |
| After hours or holiday dispatch on its own | For a smoother recovery, national estimate. With clear direction, the premium for a night, weekend or holiday response. | $100 to $400 |
How long the line ran before the valve closed
From cleanup toward a fresh start, minutes versus hours changes the affected footprint more than anything else on this list.Where the pipe broke in the assembly
From cleanup toward a fresh start, a break in an accessible utility wall is cheap to reach.Hot line or cold line
From cleanup toward a fresh start, a hot side break adds heat and humidity to the space and keeps the water heater cycling.How many rooms and levels the volume reached
As the property gets back on track, pressurized water rarely stays in one room. For a smoother recovery, each additional space adds equipment, monitoring visits and cleaning labor.Cavity access and how much surface has to open
From cleanup toward a fresh start, controlled cuts to dry a wall cavity are labor, disposal and later rebuild.Wet insulation and disposal volume
As the property gets back on track, saturated batts are bulky, heavy and non salvageable. With clear direction, removal and haul away are priced by volume.
Why timing matters
What can happen when the area stays wet
As the property gets back on track, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
Pressurized water keeps arriving until the valve closes
For a smoother recovery, every minute of an open supply line adds gallons, and each gallon travels further into the structure.
The break point is the last place to dry
For a smoother recovery, framing and insulation right at the failure took the most water and get the least airflow.
A patch over a wet stud bay
For a smoother recovery, the plumber's access hole is the fastest thing in the house to close, and closing it early seals wet framing inside.
Wet insulation stops insulating and stays wet longest
As the property gets back on track, saturated batts hold water against wood for weeks and give up moisture slowly.

How the next step is decided
For a smoother recovery, it leaves the pipe sideways, hits sheathing or framing, and then runs along the top plate and down inside the wall cavity.

For a smoother recovery, pressurized water travels in ways spilled water never does. For a smoother recovery, it leaves the pipe sideways, hits sheathing or framing, and then runs along the top plate and down inside the wall cavity.
What may change the work
With clear direction, air movers break the boundary layer of still air on wet surfaces so water can evaporate.

Why is water still coming out after I closed the main?
For a smoother recovery, everything in the pipe above the break has to drain out through the break.
Who fixes the pipe, you or a plumber?
With clear direction, a plumber does. For a smoother recovery, we are a water damage company, so we remove the water and dry the structure.
How much water actually comes out of a burst pipe?
From cleanup toward a fresh start, a half inch supply line at normal house pressure moves several gallons a minute.
How much does burst pipe water damage cleanup cost?
As the property gets back on track, nationally, one room caught quickly commonly runs $1,200 to $3,500. From cleanup toward a fresh start, several rooms on one level runs $3,500 to $9,000.
Does homeowners insurance cover a burst pipe?
With clear direction, the water damage usually yes, because a break is sudden and accidental. For a smoother recovery, report it the same day.
Does insurance pay to replace the pipe itself?
