A burst pipe has a way of stopping you dead in your tracks and making you completely forget about whatever it is you were doing. As the water gushes into your living space, your adrenaline will be pumping away and you’ll be scrambling around trying to find a plumber to come and help. The key is to take the right steps and get the situation controlled quickly, so you can minimize the water damage to your home.

There are a few reasons a burst pipe happens. Getting to the root cause of a flooding bathroom, kitchen or laundry room may not feel like priority number one, but it definitely needs to be part of the process. Once the water is turned off and the major leak is stopped, a plumber in Sterling or Alexandria can get in there and investigate.

What causes pipe leaks or flooding in your home? Pipe bursts may be caused by temperature swings (pipes expanding and contracting too fast), infiltrating tree roots, a buildup of hard water or good ole’ old age. With any of these, you need a seriously qualified plumber to take care of the issue. Water damage adds up fast and can cause a ton of related costs. Don’t take a hit: take care of the main problem and make the right investment in plumbing that works.

We get that all of this is a pain and that’s why you hire the pros! At Cardinal, every team member we have is hired, trained, skilled and completely equipped to do the job. We are your burst pipe repair specialists, serving Sterling and Alexandria homeowners with care. No need to panic-Google “plumber near me”: we’ve got your back.

What Should I Do First?

Once you realize that a pipe has burst in your home or at your workplace, the first thing you should do is try to stop the flow of water. This isn’t always possible, but most of the time if you shut off the main water valve, you can limit the damage to what’s already been done. Next, get on the phone to a plumber that offers burst pipe services and let them take charge of the situation.

Finding a Good Plumber for Emergencies

When you’re looking for a good plumber to take care of your burst pipe, you might find that you’ve wasted valuable time that could have been spent making repairs and cleaning up. One way to remedy this is to search for the plumber when you don’t actually have an emergency. If you keep the number handy, you’ll know exactly which number to dial if you have a burst pipe, and you won’t have to scramble around trying to figure it out.

How a Burst Pipe Can Ruin Your Health

If you try to repair and clean up your burst pipe mess on your own, you run the risk of attracting mold and bacteria, especially if there is standing water inside the house. Well-intentioned homeowners can end up creating a toxic environment, and the longer the situation goes unresolved, the higher the likelihood that a potentially harmful environment is created.

There’s really no time to waste when you have a burst pipe in your home or business. The longer you wait to call for help, the worse it’s going to get, so fast action is critical. Call Cardinal Plumbing, Heating & Air Inc. at 703-721-8888 and we will send someone over from our Sterling or Alexandria headquarters right away.

Christina Yount

“I was very happy with our service technician, Tommy. He sent us an e-mail & text (w/ his photo) before he arrived. He took off his shoes and wore disposable booties on his feet and was polite & respectful. He explained what we needed, in plain English, and patiently answered our many questions. He e-mailed me an estimate within 10 minutes of leaving our condo. He even paid some attention to our Cat ! My sister & I were very impressed.”

Ronnie Schulman

“I admit I had a little sticker shock when I was quoted $466 to snake a clogged kitchen drain. I did receive a $30 discount as a first time customer. That said, I was very happy with the service. They came the next day at the promised time and took the time and effort to do the job right and explain what they were doing and how to avoid future issues. They left me some solution to to pour down my drain. The plumber was professional and very courteous. I gave four stars instead of five only because I thought they were a little pricey. Nonetheless I’d use them again.”

Alison Stein

“Excellent service! I felt very well informed about all my options. The company calls, texts and emails when a service provider is on the way. I’ll absolutely recommend them and use them in the future.”

Penny Dunn

“Very pleasant experience. Shane was very nice. After I showed him what I needed, he gave me an estimated cost and after I approved the estimate, got to work. About two hours later, he was done. I was very pleased. If I hadn’t known someone had been there, I would never guessed. Very neat and tidy. Highly recommended.”
