Problems We Solve
Common Burst Pipe Repair Problems We Fix
You do not have to diagnose the problem yourself. These are common issues we help confirm, explain, and repair.
Frozen or Temperature-Stressed Pipes
Even in Central Florida, unexpected cold snaps can cause water inside pipes to expand and crack the pipe wall. Older or poorly insulated pipes are especially vulnerable during winter temperature drops, leading to sudden bursts when the water thaws and pressure spikes.
Corroded or Aging Pipes
Homes built before the 1980s often have galvanized steel or older copper lines that have been slowly corroding for decades. As pipe walls thin from rust and mineral buildup, they become structurally weak and can rupture under normal water pressure — often without warning.
High Water Pressure
Water pressure that consistently exceeds 80 PSI puts chronic stress on pipes, joints, and fittings. Over time this stress causes micro-fractures that eventually give way, resulting in a burst — particularly at connection points, elbows, and older solder joints.
Tree Root Intrusion
In Central Florida's lush landscape, tree and shrub roots naturally seek out water sources. They can infiltrate underground water supply lines through hairline cracks, gradually expanding those cracks until the pipe fails completely and water escapes into the surrounding soil or structure.
Accidental Damage During Construction or Digging
Renovation projects, landscaping work, and DIY repairs can nick, crack, or sever pipes hidden behind walls or beneath slabs. Even a minor strike can cause a pipe to fail immediately — or weaken it so it bursts under pressure days or weeks later.
When to Call
Signs Your Plumbing Emergency Needs Professional Attention
If you notice any of these signs, call Lapin. We will find the cause and explain what needs to happen next.
Sudden Loss of Water Pressure
If your water pressure drops sharply across multiple fixtures, water may be escaping through a burst or severely cracked pipe somewhere in your system. Don't ignore it — call immediately to locate the break before water damage spreads.
Water Stains or Wet Spots on Walls and Ceilings
Discoloration, bubbling paint, or damp patches on drywall or ceilings often signal a pipe leaking or bursting behind the surface. These spots can appear slowly as water seeps through framing and insulation, or rapidly if a pipe has fully ruptured.
Sounds of Running Water When Nothing Is On
Hearing water rushing, dripping, or hissing behind walls or under floors when all fixtures are off is a strong indicator of a pipe leak or burst. Trust your instincts — shut off your main water valve and call a plumber right away.
Unexplained Spike in Your Water Bill
A sudden jump in your monthly water usage — with no change in habits — often means water is escaping somewhere in your system. A burst or cracked pipe can leak hundreds of gallons per day, driving your bill up and causing hidden structural damage.
Visible Flooding or Standing Water
Water pooling on floors, seeping up through tile grout, or saturating carpet with no obvious source is a plumbing emergency. Shut off your main water supply immediately and call Lapin Services — the faster we respond, the less damage you'll face.

FAQs
Burst Pipe Repair FAQs
What should I do first if a pipe bursts in my home?
Immediately shut off your main water supply valve — usually located near the water meter or where the main line enters your home. This stops the flow of water and limits damage. Then call Lapin Services at (407) 326-3367. Our team is available 24/7 and will dispatch a licensed plumber to you right away.
How fast can Lapin Services respond to a burst pipe emergency in Orlando?
We prioritize emergency calls and dispatch the nearest available licensed plumber as quickly as possible — day or night, including weekends and holidays. Response times vary by location and demand, but we understand every minute counts and we move fast to get to you.
Can a burst pipe be repaired, or does the whole pipe need to be replaced?
It depends on the location, extent, and condition of the pipe. In many cases, a targeted repair of the damaged section is all that’s needed. However, if the pipe is old, corroded, or the burst is part of a pattern of deterioration, our technician may recommend replacing a longer section or the full line to prevent future failures. We’ll always explain your options and let you decide.
How much does burst pipe repair cost in Orlando?
Cost depends on the pipe’s location, material, extent of damage, and access difficulty. A straightforward exposed-pipe repair costs less than a repair requiring wall or slab access. We provide honest, upfront pricing before any work begins — no surprises. Call (407) 326-3367 to discuss your situation and get an estimate.
Does homeowner's insurance cover burst pipe repairs?
Most standard homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden and accidental burst pipe damage — including water damage to your home’s structure and contents. Coverage for gradual leaks or maintenance-related failures is typically excluded. We recommend contacting your insurance provider promptly and documenting all damage. Our team can provide the documentation you need for your claim.
Can pipes burst in Florida's warm climate?
Yes. While frozen pipes are less common in Central Florida than in northern states, cold snaps can still cause pipe bursts — especially in older or poorly insulated homes. More common local causes include corrosion, high water pressure, tree root intrusion, and pipe age. Lapin Services handles all types of burst pipe scenarios common to the Orlando area.
What areas does Lapin Services serve for burst pipe repair?
We serve Orlando and the greater Central Florida region, including surrounding communities in Orange, Osceola, Seminole, and surrounding counties. If you’re unsure whether we cover your area, call us at (407) 326-3367 and we’ll confirm right away.
Will the repair pass inspection and meet code requirements?
Absolutely. Lapin Services holds Florida Plumbing Contractor License CFC1428594 and performs all work to code. When permits are required for your repair, we handle the permitting process and coordinate with inspectors — so you’re fully covered and protected.
