Pipes do not burst without a reason. Knowing the underlying cause helps prevent the same problem from happening again. The most common reasons pipes burst in residential homes include:
Once we complete the emergency repair, we talk through what caused the failure so you have a clear knowledge of if any other sections of pipe may be at risk.

The single most important thing you can do when a pipe bursts is shut off the main water supply to your home immediately. This stops the flow of water and limits how much damage occurs before we arrive. Your main shutoff valve is typically located near the water meter, either outside near the foundation or in a utility area inside the home. Turn it clockwise to close it.
If water has reached any electrical outlets, panels, or appliances, do not touch those areas. Stay clear and contact an electrician if needed. Take photos of the damage before any cleanup begins, as this documentation will be important if you file a homeowners insurance claim. Then call Mueller’s Plumbing Service at (843) 572-8522 and we will guide you through anything else you can do to reduce the damage while we are on our way.
When we arrive, we assess the full extent of the damage before beginning any repair work. We locate the section of pipe that failed and inspect the surrounding area to determine how far the damage extends. In some cases, only the burst section needs to be replaced. In others, where the surrounding pipe has been weakened by corrosion or age, we recommend replacing a longer section to prevent additional failures from occurring nearby in the short term.
We use materials that match your home’s existing plumbing system and meet current code requirements for Goose Creek, SC. After completing the repair, we test the line under normal pressure to confirm everything is holding properly before we leave.
Burst pipe repair is not a job that leaves room for shortcuts. The repair needs to be done correctly and completely, or you risk the same section failing again or a neighboring section giving way under the same conditions. Mueller’s Plumbing Service brings over 30 years of residential plumbing experience to every emergency we respond to in Goose Creek. We work quickly without sacrificing quality, and we do not leave a job until we are confident the repair will hold.
In most Goose Creek homes, the main shutoff valve is located near the water meter. It may be in a utility closet, the garage, or a covered box outside near the foundation. Turning it clockwise closes the valve and stops the water flow throughout the house.
