Burst Pipe? Shut Off Your Water NOW!

Then Call Us Immediately. We Are On The Way.

(252) 503-1295

What To Do While We Are En Route:

  1. Locate your main water shut-off valve. It is usually in the garage, near the water heater, or in a box near the street. Turn it clockwise to stop the flow.
  2. Open your faucets. This drains the remaining water from the pipes and relieves pressure.
  3. Turn off electricity to the affected area if water is near outlets or appliances. Safety first!

Why Choose Us for Emergencies?

We don't use answering services. When you call Clint Hood Plumbing, you get a local plumber who can be at your door in minutes, not hours. We have the parts on our truck to fix the leak immediately.

Why Do Pipes Burst?

In Carteret and Onslow County, pipes usually burst for a few predictable reasons:

  • Freezing temperatures. Hard freezes hit Eastern NC every winter. Pipes freeze in uninsulated crawl spaces, exterior walls, and under mobile homes.
  • Age and corrosion. Galvanized steel and old copper lines rot. They develop pinholes. They split open suddenly under normal pressure.
  • Water hammer. Fast-closing valves cause pressure spikes. These spikes slam into pipe elbows. Over time, the joints crack.
  • Root intrusion. Tree roots break into clay sewer lines. This blocks flow and can cause supply lines to shift and crack.
  • Accidental damage. Homeowners drive nails into drywall. Contractors drill screws into studs. Sometimes they hit a hidden water line.

The Cost of Waiting

A standard burst pipe sprays 2 to 8 gallons of water every minute. In one hour, 480 gallons flood your home. This water quickly ruins hardwood floors. It soaks drywall and wall insulation. Mold starts growing in just 24 hours.

Water damage repair is expensive. Mitigation companies charge $3,000 to $8,000 to dry floors and remove mold in a single room. The plumbing repair itself costs a small fraction of that amount.

Do not wait. Shut off the water immediately. Then call us. A fast response stops the flooding. It limits the total damage. This is why we dispatch plumbers 24 hours a day.

What We Do When We Arrive

First, we locate the break. Sometimes it is spraying water clearly. Other times, the leak hides inside a wall. We use moisture meters and thermal cameras to find hidden leaks fast. Then, we assess the damage. We decide if you need a quick patch or a larger section replaced.

Do you need a section repair? We cut out the broken pipe. We install a strong new section. We use PEX, CPVC, or copper to match your home. Then, we pressure test the system. We finish most burst pipe repairs in a few hours.

Do you have multiple leaks? Old galvanized and original copper lines often fail in several spots. Fixing them one by one wastes your money. If the pipes are severely rusted, we will discuss a full home repipe. We explain your options. We give you honest pricing. We let you decide.

"Clint was recommended to us by our builder. We wanted to remove our old shower and upgrade. Clint answered his phone and responded swiftly. This is BIG in business....he actually answers the phone and returns calls! And TEXTS, too! Clint to the rescue! He did a fine job upgrading our shower! He helped in the planning, responded quickly with an estimate, was on time to do the several-days-job, and cleaned up after each day's work. Additionally, we had a problem with our kitchen sink faucet on a Sunday at 6:30 pm. I called Clint and he facetimed me to help me resolve it. However, and unbelievably, I could not get the faucet to turn off the water, the water source line handles (valves) under the sink would not turn, AND the handle that allows water into the house would not operate properly. He was at our house in 30 minutes, shut off the water at the meter, replaced the handle on the water shut off to the house, and replaced the shut off valves under the sink! He sat with us and discussed out choice of new faucets, and he returned the next day with an updated faucet. Great job, Clint."

"We recently hired Clint and his team to power wash our house, carport, and driveway, and to run plumbing up to our two decks. Everything was in really rough shape before they came, and the difference is like night and day. They were fast, efficient, and professional from start to finish. The concrete and exterior look almost brand new, and the new water lines to the decks are exactly what we needed. We're very happy with their work and will definitely be using Clint and his crew again!"

I called a dear friend who recommended, Clint. First thing the next morning, Clint and Hank worked for 2 hours in the pouring rain assessing the problem, securing the right parts, and fixing the leaks! I highly recommend these two professionals!"
