Burst pipe water damage in Colorado Springs, CO

A burst pipe can release hundreds of gallons an hour, so shutting the main valve comes first, then extraction and drying. Freezes cause most pipe bursts, from sub-zero cold in the North to rare hard freezes in Southern homes that were never built for them.

Burst pipe water damage questions

Does homeowners insurance cover hail damage in Colorado Springs?

Generally yes, though many Colorado policies have separate wind and hail deductibles.

Do I need a permit for repairs in Colorado Springs?

Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department.

Where is the main water shutoff?

In homes with basements, it's usually where the water line enters the foundation, near the meter. Slab homes often have a shutoff at the meter box near the street, plus a valve in the garage or near the water heater. Find it before you need it.

How do I prevent frozen pipes?

Insulate attic and exterior wall lines, drip faucets on outside walls during hard freezes, open sink cabinets, and disconnect garden hoses.
