Should I call a plumber or you first?
Call a plumber first if water is still running and you can't find the shutoff, they need to stop the source. Call us first if the leak is already stopped and you need extraction and drying. In practice, the plumber and the crew we match you with both end up on site for most jobs, and we help coordinate between them.
Will my insurance cover a burst pipe?
Almost always yes for sudden ruptures, it's the textbook covered cause of loss. Long-term slow leaks that show evidence of months of seepage often get pushed back as 'gradual damage' (excluded). The faster you discover it and document it, the cleaner the claim.
