Our Burst Pipes Process
Step-by-step breakdown of how our team handles burst pipes from initial call to final walkthrough.
Emergency Dispatch
Call our 24/7 emergency line and our team is dispatched immediately. We guide you through shutting off your main water supply while our crew is en route — on-site within 45 minutes.
Water Shut-Off & Assessment
We isolate the burst pipe, stop the water flow, and perform a thorough damage assessment using moisture meters and thermal imaging to map the full extent of water intrusion.
Pipe Repair or Replacement
Our licensed plumbers repair or replace the damaged pipe section using durable materials suited to your system — copper, PEX, or PVC — ensuring code compliance and long-term reliability.
Water Extraction & Drying
Industrial submersible pumps extract standing water while truck-mounted extractors remove water from carpets and padding. Commercial dehumidifiers and air movers accelerate structural drying.
Damage Restoration
We restore all affected areas — drywall, flooring, baseboards, insulation, and electrical components — to pre-damage condition. Antimicrobial treatment prevents mold growth.
Insurance & Prevention
We document everything for your insurance claim with photos, moisture readings, and itemized reports. We also recommend pipe insulation and monitoring solutions to prevent future bursts.
Burst Pipes Questions & Answers
Common questions Toronto homeowners ask about our burst pipes services.
Q. A pipe just burst — what do I do right now?
Shut off your home's main water valve immediately, switch off electricity to wet areas, then call 416-988-3539. We'll talk you through the shut-off if you're unsure and dispatch a crew that arrives in about 45 minutes to stop the damage and begin extraction.
Q. Why do pipes burst in Toronto winters?
When temperatures drop below about −20°C, water inside uninsulated supply lines freezes and expands, generating pressure that can exceed 2,000 PSI and split copper or PEX pipe. Pipes in exterior walls and unheated basements are most at risk — January through March is our busiest window.
Q. Do you repair the pipe and the water damage?
Yes — we handle both. After stopping the leak and repairing or replacing the failed section, we extract the water, dry the structure with commercial equipment, and restore any damaged drywall, flooring and finishes so you deal with one company start to finish.
Q. How do you find hidden leaks inside walls?
We use FLIR thermal-imaging cameras and moisture meters to trace water behind walls, under floors and above ceilings — locating saturation that visual inspection misses, so nothing is left to rot or grow mold.
Q. Is a burst pipe covered by insurance?
Sudden burst-pipe damage is one of the most commonly covered perils on Ontario home policies. We provide full photo and moisture documentation and bill your insurer directly to make the claim as painless as possible.
Q. Do you offer emergency burst pipe repair on weekends and holidays?
Yes, burst pipe emergencies do not wait for business hours, so Pro Max Restoration runs emergency response 24/7/365, including weekends and holidays. Call 416-988-3539 any time and a crew is typically on site within about 45 minutes to stop further water damage and begin extraction and drying in your Toronto or GTA home.
Q. What paperwork will I get after a burst pipe insurance claim?
After a burst pipe job, you receive a detailed scope of work, moisture readings and photo documentation, an itemized invoice, and any drying logs your adjuster requires. Since we bill most major Canadian insurers directly, this paperwork is typically sent straight to your insurance company as well as to you, which keeps your claim moving without extra steps on your end.
Q. How do you protect the rest of my home while repairing a burst pipe?
We protect the rest of your home during a burst pipe repair with floor coverings, containment barriers, and negative air setups where needed, so water and debris stay confined to the affected area. Furniture and flooring outside the work zone are covered before extraction and drying equipment goes in, and dust or moisture is monitored so it does not spread to unaffected rooms.
Q. Is there a minimum charge for a burst pipe emergency call?
Yes, like most restoration companies we have a minimum service charge for an emergency burst pipe call, which covers dispatch, assessment, and initial mitigation such as water extraction. The exact amount depends on what is found on site, and we always confirm pricing with you before starting billable work, whether or not the claim ends up going through insurance.
Q. Do I need to be home while you repair a burst pipe?
You do not need to be home for the entire burst pipe repair, but we do ask someone be present for the initial assessment so we can review the damage and scope of work together. After that, extraction and drying equipment can often run unattended in a secured home, with our technicians checking in daily to monitor progress.
