Burst Pipe Repair in Selden: what the job involves
A burst pipe in Selden almost never fails in the middle of a straight run. It goes at a fitting, at a spot where the pipe was strapped too tight, or in an unheated crawl space, garage wall or attic run that dropped below freezing. Our first job is the shut-off, our second is finding the actual failure rather than the place where water finally showed up, which is often several feet away and one floor down.
Repairs are made in the same material where that makes sense and upgraded where it does not. Copper gets cut back to clean pipe and sweated or pressed; failing polybutylene and old galvanized get replaced with PEX rather than patched, because a patch on a line that is failing from age just moves the next burst a few feet along. We pressure test before we close anything up.
When to call us
- Sudden loss of pressure across the whole house
- Water staining a ceiling or running down inside a wall
- Hissing or rushing sound with every tap closed
- A pipe that froze and then started leaking as it thawed
Selden and the area around it
Basements in and around Selden take water in a heavy spring, and the two systems standing between you and a flooded floor are the sump pump and the sewer lateral. Both fail silently and both fail at the worst possible moment. Testing a pump properly takes ten minutes and it is worth doing before the melt, not during it.
Every job in Selden starts with a diagnosis and a price. You approve the number before any work starts, and that includes nights, weekends and holidays. If we find something else once the wall is open, work stops and we talk to you before it carries on.
What is included
- Emergency shut-off and pressure relief on arrival
- Leak traced to the actual failure, not just the wet spot
- Copper, PEX, CPVC and galvanized repairs and transitions
- Pressure test before drywall or insulation goes back
- Advice on the freeze point that caused it so it does not repeat

Reviews from Selden customers
Water line to the house was leaking under the lawn. They located it, replaced the run, and put in a new shut-off that actually works.

Can you repair a burst pipe without opening the wall?
Sometimes, if the failure is at an accessible fitting or in a basement or crawl space run. Inside a finished wall we have to open a small section to make a proper joint. We cut the smallest opening that lets us do the work correctly.
Why did my pipe burst if the house was heated?
Freezing is the common cause but not the only one. High incoming pressure, water hammer, corroded galvanized line and pipe that was over-tightened at a hanger all cause failures in heated buildings.
Will you handle the water damage too?
We stop the leak and make the plumbing right. For drying and restoration we tell you honestly what needs a restoration contractor and what will dry out on its own.
Do you really answer the phone 24 hours a day in Selden?
Yes. Our emergency line for Selden is answered by a person at any hour, including weekends and holidays. If water is running while you are on the call, the first thing we do is help you find and close your main shut-off.
What should I do while I wait for the plumber?
Close your main water shut-off, then open the lowest faucet in the house to relieve pressure in the pipes. If the water is near anything electrical, cut power to that area at the panel. If you smell gas, leave the building and call your gas utility from outside.
How much does a plumber cost in Selden?
It depends entirely on the job, which is why we diagnose first and quote a number you approve before any work starts. That includes after-hours calls, which carry a higher rate that you hear before we roll rather than after.
