Frozen & Burst Pipe Repair Near Brea, California
Frozen & Burst Pipe Repair Near Brea, California
Stop the water. Fix the pipe. Protect the home.
A burst pipe can dump a lot of water fast — inside walls, in ceilings, under sinks, or even in the yard. Our job is to locate the break, stop the flow, and restore your water safely. Whether the damage came from a rare cold snap, old pipes under pressure, or a line that got hit or worn through, Service Lion can repair or replace the section quickly.
We’ll also tell you what to watch for afterward (swelling drywall, flooring issues, or mold risk) so you can follow up with restoration if needed.
Common Burst Pipe Situations We Repair
- Indoor pipe burst in a wall or ceiling
- Burst line to a hose bib / exterior spigot
- Burst under a sink, at a laundry box, or behind a toilet
- Frozen line that cracked as it thawed
- Copper pinholes that finally ruptured
- Damaged irrigation or supply line close to the home
- Slab or under-floor line that suddenly started leaking
If we find that the line is failing in multiple places, we can also talk about partial rerouting or repiping to prevent repeat bursts.
What to Do When a Pipe Bursts
- Shut off the water at the main if you can safely reach it.
- Turn off power in the affected area if water is near outlets or fixtures.
- Open a faucet to relieve pressure in the line.
- Call Service Lion and tell us it’s an active leak.
- Start drying any standing water to protect floors and furniture.
If you can’t find the main shutoff, tell us — we can locate it when we arrive.
Signs Your Pipe May Have Frozen or Burst
- Sudden drop in water pressure or no water at all
- Water stains on the ceiling, wall, or in a cabinet
- Dripping or “raining” from a light fixture or vent
- Hissing or running-water sounds when no fixtures are on
- Wet spots in the yard near the home
- Water meter spinning when nobody is using water
Catching these early can save you from major drywall, flooring, and cabinet damage.
Can Burst Pipes Be Prevented?
A lot of burst pipe emergencies come down to pressure, age, and exposure. We can help with:
- Insulating vulnerable lines
- Adding / fixing hose bibs and anti-siphon devices
- Addressing high water pressure with a pressure-reducing valve
- Replacing aging or corroded pipes before they fail
- Rerouting lines that run through unconditioned or outdoor areas
Ask your plumber during the visit and we’ll note preventive options.
Our Repair Approach
- Find the exact location of the break or split
- Cut out the damaged section
- Repair or replace with code-compliant materials (often PEX or copper)
- Secure and insulate exposed or cold-risk lines
- Turn water back on and pressure-test the repair
- Explain anything we saw that could cause another burst
We keep our work areas tidy and tell you what needs drying or patching after we’re done.

Burst Pipe Repair FAQs
Do you offer emergency plumbing for burst pipes?
Yes — tell us it’s an active leak so we can prioritize the call.
Will you have to open the wall?
Sometimes. If the burst is inside a wall or ceiling, we may need a small access opening to reach and repair it. We keep openings as small and clean as possible.
Can you repair frozen pipes that didn’t burst?
Yes. We can inspect and safely thaw lines, then insulate or reroute so they don’t freeze again.
Will my water be back on the same day?
In most standard burst pipe repairs, yes — we restore water the same day after testing, unless we discover larger piping issues that need more work.
What if this isn’t the first time this pipe broke?
That’s a sign the line or route is failing. We can recommend rerouting or repiping that section so you stop having repeat leaks.
