Older homes in established Bothell neighborhoods may have pipe materials and installation methods that call for extra care. Our service includes leak detection, repair or replacement of the damaged section, and testing to confirm the system holds pressure. For a step-by-step list, see our burst pipe emergency checklist.
Depending on the damage, a burst pipe may be fixed by replacing the failed section or by replacing a longer run of aging pipe. If the leak is in the underground line that feeds the building, see main water line leak detection and repair.
Hard freezes are not constant in Bothell, but cold snaps can freeze pipes in crawl spaces, garages, attics and exterior walls. Insulating exposed pipes and keeping heat on during a freeze reduces the risk, and any pipe that has frozen before is worth having inspected.
