Stop the Water First
Before anything else, stop the water feeding the break. Find your main shutoff, usually near the foundation wall or where the water line enters the house, and turn it clockwise until it stops.
That one action pauses the damage. It keeps water out of wall cavities and insulation, and it drops the pressure that would otherwise crack a second joint while the first is still leaking. You are not expected to diagnose anything. That is our job when we arrive.
Lower Your Risk Before the Next Freeze
- Insulate any reachable pipe in garages, basement perimeters and unheated utility rooms
- Seal air gaps around outlets and wall openings where plumbing runs behind the surface
- Disconnect hoses and cover exterior spigots before the hardest nights
- Open under-sink cabinets in extreme cold so household heat reaches the pipes
- Find your main shutoff today and turn it once, to be sure it still moves
Call (763) 296-1844 or book online and we will get someone out.

Signs You Need This Service
Don't wait for a failure. Watch for these critical warning signs that your plumbing system is struggling.
No water from a tap
You open a faucet in cold weather and get nothing, or a thin trickle that dies. That is usually ice blocking the line, and the pressure building behind it is what splits the pipe.
Frost or a bulge on the pipe
Visible frost on an exposed run, or a section that looks swollen. A bulge is the pipe telling you it is about to fail.
A damp patch or stain
Water marks on drywall, a ceiling below a bathroom, or a damp spot along the basement perimeter. A burst inside a wall often shows here before you ever hear it.
Pressure drops suddenly
Showers and taps go weak across the house at once. Water is escaping somewhere it should not be, and the fixtures are where you notice first.
Banging in the walls
Knocking or hammering when water starts and stops. Ice and pressure spikes move pipes against framing, and that movement re-tests every weak joint.
The meter moves with everything off
Shut off every fixture and watch the water meter. If the dial is still turning, water is running somewhere you cannot see.
