What Should I Do Immediately When a Burst Pipe Happens?

Shut off your home’s main water valve right away, then call Alpine Plumbing for same-day help. Open cold taps to relieve pressure and drain remaining water. Move valuables from wet areas and take photos for your records. We serve Odessa, Tampa, and nearby communities.

  • Turn the main valve clockwise to close.
  • Shut power if water is near electrical, only if it’s safe.
  • Place buckets and towels; avoid using fixtures.
  • Locate the break, but don’t open walls until water is off.
