We use press connections for copper and PEX repairs where soldering is not safe or practical. Press fittings are faster and give a mechanical seal that holds under pressure.

What our burst pipe repair includes
Every burst pipe job starts with stopping the water and ends with a pressure-tested line. Here is what is covered in a standard repair.
Work order
Burst Pipe Repair- Emergency water shutoff: We guide you through shutting off the main and isolating the failed branch so the rest of the house keeps water. If the valve is stuck or broken, we replace it during the same visit.
- Leak location and access: We use leak detection equipment and pressure gauges to pinpoint the break. One clean opening in drywall or slab instead of exploratory cuts across your floor. This step saves you hundreds in restoration.
- Pipe cut and replacement: We cut out the split section with a pipe cutter and rebuild using copper pipe, PEX tubing, or matching material. Fittings are sealed with Teflon tape or pipe sealant and torqued to spec.
- Pressure test and verification: We charge the repaired line and hold it under pressure for at least 15 minutes. If it drops, we find the leak before closing anything up. You get a documented result, not a verbal assurance.
- Valve and fitting check: The same freeze or pressure spike that burst one pipe stressed others. We check nearby shutoff valves, fittings, and exposed lines for fatigue and replace anything that is close to failing.
- Written repair record: You get a record of what failed, what we replaced, and what to watch for. If we opened a wall or slab, we tell you exactly what needs patching and when to check for moisture.

What burst pipe repair schertz TX actually involves
A burst pipe is not a wait-and-see problem. Water travels fast, and the difference between a simple repair and a full restoration is how quickly the line gets fixed and tested.
Burst pipe repair schertz TX is the emergency trade of locating a failed water line, isolating it, and rebuilding it so the system holds pressure again. A burst pipe is not a drip you can catch with a bucket. Water escapes at 8 to 12 gallons per minute on a half-inch line, and it finds the path of least resistance: drywall, insulation, slab bedding, cabinet bases. We cut out the split section, inspect the surrounding pipe for fatigue, and splice in new material with proper fittings, solder, or press connections.
Schertz sits on the edge of Bexar County where the soil shifts with our wet-dry cycles, and that movement stresses older galvanized and copper lines. Add a hard freeze like the ones we get most winters and pipes in unheated garages or exterior walls split open. Homeowners call us for frozen pipe repair schertz TX after a cold snap, or for emergency burst pipe repair in schertz TX when a supply line lets go under a slab. Either way, the fix starts with shutting the water off at the main and getting a technician on site.
- What it is
- Cutting out a split pipe and rebuilding the line.
- When it helps
- Any time water is escaping from a supply line.
- What you get
- A repaired, pressure-tested line and a written record.
How our burst pipe repair process works
Five steps from your first call to a tested, dry line. No guesswork, no surprise demolition.
Tools and methods we use
Each method answers a different question. Together they leave very little to guess.
Acoustic listening gear and pressure gauges let us find the exact break point before we cut. That means one clean opening instead of exploratory demolition.
We run a camera through drain and sewer lines to confirm whether a burst event damaged underground pipe. It also helps locate slab leaks near drain runs.
Clean cuts and proper solder joints are the difference between a repair that holds and one that weeps. We carry both for copper and use press tools where heat is a risk.
Every repair gets charged and held under pressure for at least 15 minutes. The gauge tells us if the joint holds before we close the wall.

How burst pipe repair runs in Schertz
Schertz sits where Bexar County soil transitions from clay to limestone, and that mix moves with every wet-dry cycle. Copper lines under slabs crack from that movement, and older galvanized supply lines fail from the inside out.
Schertz Heights
Older homes here often have original copper supply lines that crack at fittings during freeze events. We see repeat calls on the same streets each winter.
Cibolo Valley Ranch
Newer construction with PEX in exterior walls. PEX flexes instead of cracking, but fittings can still split if they are not insulated properly.
Northcliff
Slab-on-grade homes with copper under the foundation. Soil movement here causes slab leaks that show up as warm spots on tile floors.

PhotoFrozen garage line in Universal City
Before: A homeowner woke to water pouring from the garage wall after a January freeze. The copper line had split along a 6-inch section, soaking insulation and drywall. The main shutoff was stuck and would not close fully.
After: We replaced the stuck gate valve with a quarter-turn ball valve, cut out the split copper, and rebuilt the line with PEX. Pressure test held at 80 psi for 20 minutes. Total job took three hours and the wall was dry by evening.
Slab leak in Northcliff
Before: A slab leak was confirmed under the kitchen floor with no visible water above the slab.
After: We used leak detection to pinpoint the break, cut one 2-foot access point in the slab, and rebuilt the copper line with PEX. The slab was patched and the water bill returned to normal the following cycle.
Bathroom supply line in Cibolo
Before: A supply line under a bathroom sink burst overnight in a Cibolo rental. The cabinet was full of water, the shutoff valve was seized, and the disposal had taken on water. The tenant called at 10 p.m.
After: We shut off the branch, replaced the failed line and the seized valve, dried the cabinet, and replaced the disposal. The repair was done by midnight and the tenant had water restored the same night.
Burst pipe problems we solve in Schertz
A burst pipe is rarely just one problem. Here are the issues we see most and how we handle them before they get worse.
Frozen pipe splits in unheated garages
A split in an exterior wall line can dump 100 gallons before you notice.
Slab leaks from shifting Bexar County soil
Soil movement cracks copper lines under your foundation.
Failed shutoff valves that will not close
When a pipe bursts and the main valve will not shut off, you cannot stop the water.
Polybutylene and galvanized pipe failures
Older Schertz homes still have polybutylene or galvanized supply lines. Both fail from the inside out, and when they go, they go without warning.

What Schertz customers say
Pipe split in our garage wall during the January freeze. Called at 6 a.m. and they talked me through shutting off the main before they even arrived. Tech was here by 8, had the copper cut out and replaced with PEX by noon. Pressure test held, no leaks. Cost was right where they quoted.
We had a slab leak that turned out to be a burst line under the kitchen. They used a camera to find it, cut one clean opening in the floor, and fixed it in a day. I expected a week of mess. They patched the concrete and told me exactly what to watch for. No issues since.
A supply line burst in one of our rental units on a Sunday. Pro Plumbing Schertz had a tech out within two hours, repaired the line, and replaced the shutoff valve while he was in there. He documented everything with photos. We use them for all our Schertz properties now.

Still have a question?
Describe what you are seeing and we will point you to the right next step.
876383746Shut off the main water valve first, then kill power to any flooded area and call us. The main is usually near the street or where the supply enters the house. Once water is off, open a low faucet to drain the lines. Do not wait for a callback. Water travels fast through drywall and slab bedding, and every minute you delay adds repair cost.
A straight copper or PEX repair in an open wall sits at the low end. Slab breaks, second-story lines, or repairs needing drywall and concrete work push higher. We give you the number before we cut.
Yes. Call us and we will walk you through shutting off the water immediately, then dispatch a technician with the tools and materials to rebuild the line on site.
