Water Filtration SystemsTD Plumbing Solutions repairs burst pipes across Benbrook and Greater Fort Worth, 24/7, stopping the water, fixing the break and testing the line before leaving.
First, shut off your main water valve. That stops the damage while help is on the way. When Terrill arrives, he finds the break, cuts out the damaged section and puts in new pipe. Then he turns the water back on and checks the repair and nearby joints for more leaks.
Water is spraying from a wall, dripping through a ceiling or pooling in the yard. A burst pipe needs fast action, and the first step is yours: shut off the water.
Shut off the main valve right away, then call. Every minute adds to the damage.
A pipe in the attic has likely split. Shut off the water and stay out from under any sagging spot.
A frozen line may have split. When it thaws, it can start leaking fast.
Ice inside is pushing on the pipe. It may not have burst yet, but it's close.
A buried line may have broken. Shifting clay soil is a common cause here.
A break in the line lets water escape before it reaches your taps.

Terrill makes sure the main is off and finds the section of pipe that failed.
He explains what burst and why, and gives you the price before he cuts anything.
He cuts out the split section and joins in new pipe, often PEX, a bendable plastic line that copes with freezing better.
He brings the water back on slowly and checks nearby joints for more leaks.

You won't get a phone menu when a pipe breaks: as reviewer Ty Sikes put it, Terrill answers the phone and does the work.
North Texas doesn't freeze often, so many homes aren't built for it. Pipes in attics, outside walls and garages are most at risk. The February 2021 winter storm split pipes across the Fort Worth area.
Summer brings its own risk. Our clay soil shrinks in drought and pulls on buried water lines, which can snap older pipe in the yard. Older galvanized and copper lines around Benbrook are the most likely to snap.
Shut off your main water valve. It's usually near the meter or where the line enters your home. If water is near outlets or lights, turn off power to that area. Then move what you can and call. TD Plumbing Solutions answers 24/7.
Yes. TD Plumbing Solutions in Benbrook offers 24/7 emergency service across Benbrook and Greater Fort Worth. A real person answers, and owner Terrill Dobbs, a Texas Responsible Master Plumber, handles the repair. He explains the break and the price first.
Freezes are the best known cause. Water grows as it freezes and splits the pipe. But pipes also burst from old age, rust inside galvanized lines, high water pressure, and clay soil that shifts buried lines during drought. Here, all of these play a part.
In many homes around here, it's near the water meter by the street, or where the main line enters the house, often in the garage or on an outside wall. Find it before you need it. If you can't, ask Terrill to show you.
Yes. A slow drip keeps water moving, which makes it harder for a pipe to freeze solid. Open the cabinets under sinks on outside walls so warm air reaches the pipes. Cover outdoor faucets and unhook hoses. It won't stop every burst, but it helps.
Leave the faucet open so water can flow as it thaws. Warm the pipe slowly with a hair dryer, or a space heater kept at a safe distance. Never use an open flame. If you can't reach the frozen spot or it starts leaking, shut off the main and call.
If the break is inside a wall or ceiling, yes, that spot has to be opened to reach it. Terrill opens only what he needs to and tells you first. Pipes in an attic, a crawlspace or under a sink can often be fixed without cutting anything.
Not always. One burst from a freeze doesn't mean the rest of your pipes are bad. But if your home has old galvanized or worn copper and leaks keep happening, repiping may save money over time. Terrill will tell you honestly which your home needs.
