A Pipe Burst—What Do I Do First?

Picture this: you walk through the door and hear water rushing where it shouldn’t be. A pipe has burst. Suddenly there’s water spilling out, soaking into the floors, and you’re stuck with a stressful, messy problem no Everett homeowner ever wants to face.

The good news? Acting quickly can make all the difference. At 2 Sons Plumbing Everett, we get these calls often, and we know the exact steps you should take in those first few minutes to protect your home and keep the damage from getting worse.

What to Do Right Away

When a pipe bursts, every minute counts. Here’s how to get the situation under control until help arrives:

Turn Off the Main Water Supply

Find your home’s main shutoff valve and close it right away. Stopping the flow of water keeps the problem from getting worse.

Shut Off Electricity Near the Leak

If the leak is anywhere near outlets, appliances, or wiring, switch off the power to that part of the house. It’s better to be safe than risk mixing water and electricity.

Drain Excess Water

Turn on faucets and flush toilets to let water drain out of the system. This relieves pressure and clears out what’s left in the pipes.

Take Photos of the Damage

Before you start cleaning, grab your phone and take pictures or videos of the leak and the damage. Your insurance company will want clear documentation.

When It’s Time to Call a Plumber in Everett

Quick DIY steps help, but they’re only the first line of defense. A burst pipe always needs professional repair. Call 2 Sons Plumbing Everett immediately if you notice:

Ceilings starting to sag from water weight
Water spreading across multiple rooms or levels
Leaks close to electrical wiring or outlets
Water still flowing heavily after draining faucets

We’re available for emergencies and can get a licensed plumber to your home fast to stop the leak and repair the damage.

What Repairs Usually Cost

The price to fix a burst pipe depends on where the pipe is, how much damage was done, and how difficult it is to reach.

Pipe repair: $250–$1,300 on average

Water cleanup and restoration: Varies depending on how much water damage there is

Catching the leak early almost always means lower costs.

How to Prevent Future Burst Pipes

You can’t always predict when a pipe will burst, but a little prevention goes a long way:

Insulate pipes in crawlspaces, garages, and attics
Keep your home at a steady temperature in cold weather
Have older pipes inspected before they fail

These small steps can help save you from big emergencies later.

Great service and Dave their plumber is the best. We have an odd house with even odder plumbing. The pipes are a mess of grandfathered-in open air nonsense, when our pump started making some noises (and a little leaking) after some DIY heat tape adventures (getting ready for colder weather), we were worried that we would need a massive repair but Dave came and looked at it and immediately realized we had unplugged the float plug from the pump plug which was 90% of the problem and the leak just need a little tightening of a flex joint. The company was quick and didn't charge for an estimate or in this case a quick "thats not plugged in right". The experience and the overall professionalism has convinced me that when I do finally need that big repair job, I'll call these guys.

Booking an appointment was extremely easy, and we were able to get one just the next day. Communication was excellent with timely reminders and a call before our appointment. Kerry did a fantastic job both advising us and effectively resolving our issue.

I have all good things to say about 2 Sons Plumbing. My first experience was a few years ago and the whole process went very smoothly. Making the appointment was easy and quick, the repair was done with no problem and I thought the price was fair. Recently, Dave from 2 Sons came out to look at several plumbing problems I was having and, within a matter of minutes, all of the problems were diagnosed. Dave gave me options and estimates all before he left my house. I haven’t had the work done yet but appreciate the information and the prices seemed fair to me. Dave was on time, professional and very knowledgeable. 2 Sons are my go to Plumbers.

Bob at 2 Sons Plumbing was amazing! We had a horribly backed up kitchen sink drain and he was able to fix it, and save us some money in the process! He heard what we had to say about our issue and double checked everything. Super friendly and very helpful. Thank you for the amazing work Bob!

Stellar job by Carey and his team at 2sons today. I had a complex job -- installing a yard hydrant/faucet for a garden across the (private) street. They had to go into the floor of the garage, run piping under the floor, out of the house, across the road. Had to cut into the asphalt, trench down a couple feet, then patch it all up again, including fixing the garage concrete floor. Super job. Looks really clean. Got it all done in a day.

A wonderful experience every time with 2 Sons plumbing. Jake and Angelo helped us with our plumbing issue. They showed up on time and gave a very reasonable estimate for the repair. We ended up replacing a couple of toilets and a part of a sink drain. They came back the next day to complete the work due to our schedule. Excellent communication, prompt, and hard working! Thank you so much Jake and Angelo!! We are very happy with 2 Sons and have used them multiple times.

Brandon and Ethan were awesome. I had a basic plumbing issue that I was too scared to address myself. They were very non judgmental and provided excellent customer service. I totally recommend 2 Sons Plumbing.
