Burst Pipe Repair & Emergency Response
Pipe burst? Shut off the main and call us — we're on our way.
A burst pipe is one of the most damaging plumbing emergencies 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 responds to burst pipe emergencies 24/7 across Cleveland and Greater Cleveland with licensed 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 216-290-2221. We'll dispatch immediately and stay on the phone with you until we arrive. Every emergency job gets flat-rate pricing in writing before repairs begin.

Burst Pipe Repair FAQ
Common questions about our burst pipe repair service.
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.
