As temperatures drop, water within your pipes—particularly in exposed or uninsulated areas—can begin to freeze. This natural process causes water to expand, placing tremendous pressure on pipe walls. Left unaddressed, frozen pipes can restrict water flow or rupture entirely, resulting in significant water damage to homes and commercial properties alike.
At NY Plumbing Pros, we recognize how disruptive and stressful these situations can be. While no one can control the weather, being informed and prepared makes all the difference. Knowing the signs of a frozen pipe and taking timely, appropriate action can help prevent more serious damage.

Emergency Pipe Burst?
At NY Plumbing Pros, we understand the disruption and stress that come with a sudden pipe burst. Water intrusion can escalate quickly—jeopardizing your home’s structure, safety, and comfort. In these critical moments, experience and efficiency matter. That’s why our licensed professionals respond with urgency, attention to detail, and an unwavering commitment to your peace of mind.
If a pipe bursts in your home, take the following steps immediately:
- Shut off your main water supply - Act swiftly. Locate and close your home’s main water valve to stop the flow of water. This essential first step can help contain the damage and prevent further intrusion into walls, floors, or ceilings.
- Disconnect electrical power in the affected area - If water has reached any outlets, lighting, or appliances, cut power to the area using your circuit breaker. Safety must always be the top priority in any emergency.
- Contact NY Plumbing Pros without delay - Once the immediate hazards are under control, reach out to our dedicated emergency response team.
- Begin moisture removal as soon as possible - Use towels, mops, fans, or a wet/dry vacuum to extract standing water and reduce residual moisture. Prompt action is key to preventing mold growth and long-term structural damage.
