Emergency Burst Pipe Solutions in Chattanooga by Choo Choo Rooter

A dripping faucet, a broken handle, and a leaky toilet won't cause nearly as much panic as a burst pipe. Burst pipes can cause severe damage to your home in record time. To avoid paying out thousands of dollars in severe water damage, you'll want a reliable and qualified plumber in Chattanooga to be available quickly. A burst pipe can leave a continuous leak or, worse, a jet of water resembling a geyser that can potentially leave as much as 48 bathtubs full of water in your home. In a situation like this, every second counts. You'll want a plumber who will arrive on the job quickly to assess the damages and stop the water flow.


Cracked pipes that have leaks or are near leaks are the same as a ticking time bomb. A small, undetected leak can mean weakened support beams, damp insulation, waterlogged drywall, and mold. Over time, this can mean more water damage and, eventually, structural damage to your home.

Steps to Take for Preventing a Burst Pipe

According to Benjamin Franklin, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. We believe in those words. They are wise words, and we apply them to our services each and every day. We know that preventing a pipe from bursting in the first place will save thousands of potential damage and repair costs in the long run.

Burst pipes commonly happen during the cold winter months. As the temperature drops rapidly, the water freezes in the pipes. The frozen water then expands, and the pipe begins to crack. Soon, this crack becomes a leak, and over time, it will burst.

If you see a crack, you likely have a spray of water coming out of the pipe. This will show you where the damages are. Once you've identified the problem, you can work toward a solution.

Water spots may indicate where the water has traveled. It may go some distance before you realize it.

Our technicians know how to trace such water spots and run tests to find where it's coming from and locate the source. Once the source is located, we can then work on a solution. Ten percent of homes have leaks that may waste as much as 90 gallons of water per day.

Burst Pipe Prevention Tactics

  • Check and insulate unheated areas of your house.
  • Install extra insulation around pipes that are exposed to colder areas of your house.
  • Seal all of the open vents during winter months to avoid drafts.
  • Disconnect all of the outdoor hoses.
  • Shut water flow off for all outdoor faucets during the winter months.
  • Keep the heat at 53 degrees Fahrenheit minimum.
  • Repair leaks before winter sets in.
  • Keep an eye on the temperature forecast.
  • If it's going to be below freezing, double-check pipes for insulation.
  • Open doors underneath the sink to allow warmer air to flow from the house into the area where the pipes are located.
  • Leave the faucets dripping during the night so ice crystals won't form.
  • Tie a string from the top of the drain to the water so that water droplets can slide down the string without you having to listen to the obnoxious drip sound.

What to Do When a Pipe Bursts

There are a variety of reasons that a pipe may burst. Pipes may burst due to temperature, corrosion, age, and neglect. Our highly trained plumbers can inspect your pipes and let you know if you have any that may be in danger of bursting somewhere down the road.


Teach all of your family members where the water shut-off valves are. The sooner the water is shut off, the less potential damage to your home.


Watch for signs of dampness on walls, floors, ceilings, and anywhere else the water pipes are located. If you see any changes, call a plumber immediately. If you have lower water pressure or electrical faults, call the plumber. Keep all electrical devices from touching the outlets and light switches so no one will be electrocuted.

Don't Neglect Leaks

If you do have a leak, remember that for want of a nail, a shoe was lost; for want of a shoe, the horse was lost; for want of a horse, the rider was lost. In other words, neglecting small leaks can cause huge issues. Plusa, they are much easier to repair when they are smaller. Give us a call.
