My advice for what to do when a pipe burst in your home is always to turn off the water supply and call a plumber. Please do not opt for some DIY method here, as 99% of the time it doesn’t work and makes the situation work. My husband once tried to join the pipe using some tape, and all we got was blunder and mess. 

What to Do if Your Pipes Burst?

If any day a pipe bursts in your apartment, here is what you should do without even wasting a single minute:

  • Try to figure out where the pipe burst and from where the water is leaking

  • The next step is to turn off the water supply

  • To release the pressure of the pipes, open the taps, and fill buckets as many as you can

  • Call a plumber and let him identify, repair or replace the damaged pipes

  • Once the problem is solved, clean the mess

Pipe bursts usually happen when the pressure is too high or when it gets way too old, so the best solution is to replace them. You better consult with a plumber and then make your call.

I went to the office one time and after I returned I realised that there is no water in the building. When I asked my landlord he informed me that one of the pipes broke. I did not have enough water to wash my hands at that time. I immediately called the plumber and fixed it. Later he informed me what to do when your pipes burst.

Before explaining what actions to take when pipe burst, I will share the reason why a pipe breaks in brief.

What to do when a pipe bursts in your house?

I will share a step by step guide on how to take care of burst pipe!

  • Turn off the mainline.

  • Immediately call a plumber.

  • Clean the water that accumulated when the pipe bursts.

  • Drain the faucets to understand if there are any other leakages in the pipe. It's better to flush the toilets if the pipe is broken.

  • In case the pipe has frozen due to bad weather, you should heat up your home to defrost.

  • You can place the rubber on the area that was burst. That way you can cover the pipe and avoid leakage for some amount of time.
