Frozen & Burst Pipe Repair

Missouri winters can be brutal on your home's plumbing. When temperatures drop below freezing, exposed and poorly insulated pipes are at risk of freezing - and a frozen pipe can quickly become a burst pipe, causing significant water damage to your home.

At Titan Plumbing & Water Filtration, we provide fast, professional frozen and burst pipe repair to homeowners throughout St. Charles County, St. Louis County, and surrounding areas. With over 20 years of experience handling winter plumbing emergencies in the region, we know how to diagnose the problem quickly and get your plumbing back to normal.

A burst pipe is a stressful situation, but knowing what to do can minimize the damage:

1. Shut Off Your Main Water Supply

Locate your main water shut-off valve and turn it off immediately. This stops water from continuing to flow through the broken pipe. In most homes, the shut-off valve is near the water meter or where the main water line enters the house.

2. Call Titan Plumbing

Call us at (636) 219-2141 and describe the situation. We'll get to you as quickly as possible.

3. Contain the Water

While you wait, use towels, buckets, and mops to contain the water and minimize damage to floors, walls, and belongings. If water is near electrical outlets or appliances, exercise caution and avoid contact.

4. Document the Damage

Take photos of the damage for your insurance company. This documentation will be important when filing a claim.

The best emergency is one that never happens. Here are steps you can take to protect your pipes during cold weather:

• Insulate exposed pipes in unfinished areas like basements, crawl spaces, and garages
• Keep your home heated - maintain at least 55°F even when you're away
• Open cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls to allow warm air to circulate
• Let faucets drip slightly during extreme cold snaps to keep water moving
• Disconnect garden hoses and close indoor shut-off valves to outdoor spigots before winter
• Install frost-free spigots to replace old outdoor faucets

Titan Plumbing also offers pipe insulation services and frost-free spigot installation to help protect your home before cold weather arrives. A small investment in prevention can help reduce the risk of costly emergency repairs.
