216-677-2707Burst Pipe Repair in University Heights, OH
Pipe burst? Shut off the main and call us — we're on our way.
A burst pipe is one of the most damaging plumbing problems a homeowner can face. In Northeast Ohio winters, sub-zero temperatures regularly freeze and split copper and PEX supply lines, sending gallons of water pouring into walls, ceilings, and floors every minute. On Our Way Plumbing prioritizes burst pipe calls across University Heights and Greater Cleveland, with experienced plumbers ready to stop the water and complete durable repairs.
Whether the burst is in a basement wall, an unheated attic, a crawlspace, or behind a fixture, our trucks arrive stocked to cut out the damaged section, install proper repair fittings or replacement pipe, and pressure test the system. We work with copper, PEX, CPVC, galvanized steel, and cast iron — whatever your home has, we can repair it.
If you're dealing with a burst pipe right now, shut off your main water valve (usually in the basement near where the water line enters the house) and call 216-677-2707. We'll get a plumber to you as fast as we can — often the same day — and help you limit the damage over the phone. Every job gets a written quote before repairs begin.
Why University Heights Residents Choose On Our Way Plumbing
University Heights gets its name and much of its identity from John Carroll University, the Jesuit institution that has anchored this east side community since 1935 when it relocated from the west side of Cleveland. The campus's Gothic architecture and manicured grounds set the tone for a city of about 13,000 residents who value education, community, and well-kept neighborhoods. The Cedar Road corridor and Warrensville Center Road intersection form the city's commercial heart, while the tree-lined streets off Silsby Road and Fenwick Road are home to a mix of long-time residents, young families, and rental properties popular with students and faculty — properties where plumbing issues need to be handled quickly to keep tenants happy.
On Our Way Plumbing is a go-to resource for University Heights homeowners, landlords, and property managers. We specialize in rental unit plumbing repairs — running toilets, dripping faucets, water heater replacements — for the quick turnovers that landlords need. We also handle full home service, water heater installations, drain cleaning, sewer line repair, and same-day repairs for urgent problems. Our experienced plumbers understand the plumbing quirks of the older housing stock that defines this community.

Burst Pipe Repair in University Heights — FAQ
The main shutoff is usually in the basement, crawlspace, or utility room near where the water line enters from the street. It's typically a ball valve (lever handle — quarter-turn to close) or a gate valve (round wheel — turn clockwise until closed). Call us and we'll help you find it.
The most common cause in Cleveland is freezing — water expands as it freezes and cracks the pipe. Other causes include corrosion (especially in older galvanized pipes), high water pressure, physical damage, and age-related material failure.
Most homeowners policies cover water damage from a sudden burst pipe (not the pipe repair itself, but the resulting damage). We can provide detailed invoices and photos to support your claim.
