Fast Burst Pipe Repair and Water Damage Control

Quick Answer

What causes pipes to burst in Las Vegas homes?

In Las Vegas, burst pipes are most often caused by rare hard freezes in attics and exterior walls, excessive water pressure from a failed regulator, corroded copper, water hammer and failed braided supply connectors at water heaters and fixtures.

Burst pipes are less common in the desert than up north, but they still happen. Attic lines freeze on the coldest January nights, high pressure blows out weak fittings, and old copper can split along a seam without warning. Burst pipe repair starts with stopping the water and finding exactly where the pipe failed.

If the burst is obvious, we go straight to the repair. When water is appearing far from the source, we locate it with wall and ceiling leak detection methods so drywall is only opened once. Bursts are handled through our 24/7 emergency leak service, and repeated failures in an older home are a sign it may be time for repiping.

Common Causes

Why Pipes Burst in Las Vegas Homes

Desert homes have their own reasons for sudden pipe failures.

Freezing attic and exterior lines

Rare hard freezes split pipes in unheated attics and exterior walls.

High water pressure

Pressure above recommended levels stresses fittings and joints.

Failed pressure regulator

A worn regulator lets full city pressure into the house.

Corroded copper

Hard water thins pipe walls until they split.

Water hammer

Fast-closing valves create pressure spikes that loosen joints.

Failed flex connectors

Braided supply lines at heaters and fixtures can rupture.
