What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is Burst Pipe Repair and Re-Piping?
Burst pipe repair and re-piping covers both the emergency fix and the long-term solution:
Burst pipe repair – Quickly locating the failure, cutting out damaged sections, and stopping the leak so your home can start drying out.
Re-piping – Replacing weak, corroded, or poorly installed lines in the same area (or throughout the home) so you’re less likely to have another burst later.
Instead of patching the same problem area over and over, we can create a reliable, updated piping system designed for your home and local conditions.
Why Choose Active Plumbing
Emergency response: We handle urgent burst pipe calls to stop active leaks and limit damage.
Repair + re-pipe mindset: We don’t just patch—you’ll also hear about re-pipe options if your piping is failing in multiple spots.
Experience with local homes: Familiar with slab-on-grade homes, multi-story houses, and Las Vegas hard water that can stress piping.
Copper, PEX, and mixed systems: We work with modern materials and layouts that improve reliability and serviceability.
Clean, code-compliant work: Repairs and re-piping follow local plumbing codes with proper supports and connections.
Licensed & insured: Nevada License #0047021, trusted for burst pipe repair & re-piping in Las Vegas.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Shut off water at the main shutoff valve or at the closest fixture shutoff you can safely reach to slow or stop the burst.
Stay away from areas where water is coming through ceilings or near electrical outlets, power strips, or appliances.
Move rugs, furniture, and personal items out of wet areas if it’s safe, and use towels or buckets to catch dripping water.
Take quick photos or short videos of the burst area and water damage in case you need them for insurance or future reference.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357, explain where the pipe burst (ceiling, wall, slab, yard, etc.), and we’ll guide you on any immediate steps and dispatch help for burst pipe repair and re-piping.
Common Burst Pipe & Re-Piping Situations We See
Lines bursting in ceilings or walls, causing water stains or drywall collapse
Attic and overhead lines failing during temperature swings or due to age
Slab leaks and slab-adjacent bursts in hot or cold water lines
Old copper or galvanized pipes developing multiple weak spots and pinhole leaks
Supply lines to bathrooms, kitchens, or laundry rooms repeatedly failing
Frozen or stressed lines in rare cold snaps or in uninsulated spaces
If you’ve had more than one leak or burst in the same home, it’s a strong sign that re-piping at least part of the system should be on the table.
Emergency Call & Shutoff Guidance
You call (702) 438-3357. We gather details (where the burst is, what you’re seeing) and talk you through shutting off water if you haven’t already, then schedule an emergency visit.
On-Site Leak Location & Safety Check
Your plumber confirms the burst location, checks for electrical hazards, ceiling sagging, or structural concerns, and sets basic containment (buckets, pans, or temporary shutoffs).
Burst Pipe Repair & Stabilization
We open the necessary area (wall, ceiling, access panel) as needed, cut out the damaged section, and install new piping and fittings to stop the leak. We then restore water service carefully and check for additional leaks.
Piping Condition Assessment
Once the immediate leak is under control, we assess visible piping nearby for signs of corrosion, age, or prior patchwork and talk with you about the overall health of your water lines.
Re-Piping Options & Upfront Proposal
If we see multiple risk factors (old piping, prior leaks, corroded sections), we discuss targeted re-piping or broader upgrades—with clear, written estimates for re-piping sections, branches, or even the whole house if appropriate.
Re-Piping Work, Testing & Documentation
If you choose to re-pipe, we schedule and perform the work, installing new lines (copper or PEX), supporting and testing them, and verifying flow and temperature at fixtures. You receive documentation and notes you can use for insurance, future work, or resale records.
What’s Included
Emergency visit for burst pipe stabilization and shutoff guidance
Location and exposure of the burst pipe (walls, ceilings, access points as needed)
Cut-out and replacement of the failed section with approved materials
Basic assessment of nearby piping for visible condition and prior repairs
Optional re-piping plan and estimates for longer-term solutions
System testing and documentation of repairs and any re-piping performed
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Many burst pipe repairs are stabilized and repaired in a single emergency visit, while extended re-piping may be scheduled over additional days.
You receive clear, upfront pricing for the emergency repair and separate pricing for any optional re-piping work before we proceed.
Costs depend on location of the burst (wall, ceiling, attic, slab), extent of damage, length and size of line replaced, and whether you opt for local repair only or expanded re-piping.
Every job includes a line-item estimate separating emergency repair, additional re-piping, and any extra recommended upgrades (new shutoffs, hose bib replacement, etc.).
Insurance & Claims Help
Burst pipes often lead to significant water damage, and many homeowners contact insurance:
We can document where the pipe burst, what type of pipe it was, and what we did to repair or replace it.
Our detailed invoices and notes can support your adjuster in understanding the plumbing side of the claim.
We can coordinate with water mitigation/restoration companies handling dry-out, demolition, and rebuild while we handle the plumbing.
(Coverage and claim decisions are always made by your specific insurance carrier and policy; this is not financial or legal advice.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
More leaks and bursts: If one section of old or damaged pipe has failed, other sections may be close behind.
Repeat damage to new finishes: Fixing walls, ceilings, or floors before addressing failing piping can mean tearing it all open again after the next leak.
Higher water bills: Undetected or slow leaks can waste water and add cost even when you don’t see active flooding.
Mold and structural issues: Wet framing, insulation, and drywall that stay damp can lead to mold growth and structural damage.
Ongoing stress: Living with the worry of “what’s going to burst next?” is stressful and disruptive to daily life.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Approved piping materials: We use Type L copper, PEX, and other code-compliant materials appropriate for your system and local regulations.
Secure, supported piping: New lines are properly supported and routed to reduce stress and noise.
Code-compliant repairs: All work follows local plumbing codes in Clark County and surrounding areas.
Hard-water-aware design: We consider Las Vegas hard water in material choice and may recommend water treatment or maintenance where it helps protect your new piping.
Thorough testing: After repairs or re-piping, we pressure-test and function-test fixtures to confirm everything is working and watertight.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you just fix the burst, or do I have to re-pipe?
We can absolutely repair just the burst section to get you back in service. After we see pipe condition, we’ll let you know if re-piping is strongly recommended so you can decide what’s best for your budget and risk tolerance.
How do burst pipes happen in Las Vegas?
Common causes include age, corrosion, poor installation, shifting structures, high pressure, and hard water. Rare cold snaps can also stress exposed or attic lines.
Will you have to open up my walls or ceilings?
Often yes. To repair a burst, we usually need direct access to the damaged pipe, which may mean opening walls or ceilings in specific locations. We try to minimize openings and keep them neat for easier patching.
What’s the difference between repairing and re-piping?
A repair fixes the single failure point. Re-piping replaces a larger section or entire branch or home, addressing underlying age or material issues that could cause more bursts later.
Can you help me decide between copper and PEX for re-piping?
Yes. We’ll explain pros and cons, cost differences, and what works best for your home’s layout and local conditions.
