Burst pipe & water leak emergency response
A frozen pipe in January, a failed PEX fitting, a supply line under the sink that finally lets go. Burst pipes release a lot of clean water very quickly — and it goes straight into ceilings and wall cavities. We get there, help stop it, and dry what's hidden.

Frozen pipes in Ontario winters
Pipes along exterior walls, in unheated garages, and in older homes with limited insulation are most at risk when temperatures drop well below freezing. Pipes often split while frozen and only start leaking when they thaw — which is why so many calls come in the morning after a cold snap.
Condos and townhomes
In multi-unit buildings, water from one burst line can affect several units. We work alongside property managers and condo corporations, document each affected unit separately, and keep everyone informed.
Clean water, but not for long
A burst supply line starts as clean water, but after 48 hours in contact with building materials it can degrade to grey water. Fast drying keeps it simple and keeps restoration costs down.
How much does burst pipe water damage cost to fix?
Typical 2026 ranges for emergency mitigation in the GTA: extraction, drying and any tear-out needed to dry the structure. Your real number depends on how much water, what kind, how long it sat and what it soaked into. We give you a written, itemized estimate on site and can work directly with your insurance adjuster.
| Situation | Typical mitigation cost* | Typical drying time |
|---|---|---|
| Small clean-water leak, one room (dishwasher, supply line) | $1,500 – $3,500 | 2 – 3 days |
| Burst pipe affecting 2–3 rooms or a ceiling | $3,500 – $7,500 | 3 – 4 days |
*Emergency mitigation only, before HST. Rebuild (new drywall, flooring, paint, cabinets) is a separate estimate. Read the full water damage cost guide.

How we handle burst pipes
Shut off
We walk you through closing the main shut-off (usually near the water meter in the basement) over the phone while we're on the way.
Locate
Thermal cameras and moisture meters trace exactly where the water went — often much further than it looks.
Open strategically
Small, targeted openings in drywall or ceiling let us dry cavities without tearing out more than needed.
Dry
Injection drying for walls and ceilings, air movers and dehumidifiers for floors. Daily monitoring.
Repair
Once your plumber has repaired the line, we close up, finish and paint.
Burst Pipes questions
What should I do first when a pipe bursts?
Close the main water shut-off, turn off power to affected areas if water is near electrical, move valuables out of the way, and call us. Take photos if it's safe — they help your claim.
Do you fix the pipe itself?
Our focus is the water damage. We work with licensed plumbers who can repair the pipe, often the same day, and we coordinate so drying and repair don't get in each other's way.
Is burst pipe damage covered by insurance?
Sudden water damage from a burst pipe is commonly covered, though policies vary — especially if a home was left unheated. We handle documentation and can bill your insurer directly.
