When water sits in pipes and is exposed to freezing temperatures, the water can turn to ice, expanding within the pipe and putting pressure on the pipe wall. This can cause the pipe to crack or completely burst.
Dollar Point’s mountain climate creates specific challenges—pipes that freeze when vacation homes aren’t heated, water heaters that fail from heavy seasonal use, and drain lines that back up from infrequent use. If temperatures plummet overnight, just a few hours of below-freezing temperatures can cause the stagnant water in your pipes to freeze. As the water expands and becomes ice, it puts pressure on the pipe and can eventually cause it to burst.
The national average cost for a main water line repair is $1,005. Smaller repairs may cost a few hundred dollars, whereas complex repairs may total nearly $4,000. In Dollar Point, water line repair typically costs between $150-$300 depending on the severity of the problem and which type of repair we’re performing. Simple leaks usually cost less than main line replacements that affect your entire water supply.
We provide upfront pricing before we start any work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. There are no surprise charges or hidden fees added to your bill later. The final cost depends on the complexity of the repair, materials needed, and accessibility of your water line.
A standard homeowners policy typically does not include insurance for water service line breaks and subsequent damage. Standard homeowners insurance policies do not cover damage from main water line breaks or any resulting water damage to your home, meaning you would have to cover repairs you’re responsible for out of pocket.
To protect your home and help cover the cost, you might consider adding a service line endorsement to your existing policy. Service line coverage provides up to $10,000 of protection for less than $5 a month. As a homeowner, you are responsible for the water service lines extending from the water main on the street to your home, and that includes repairs.
The main shutoff is usually near where the water line enters your home or by the water meter. For water heater issues, turn off the power or gas supply to the unit. Move valuable items away from any flooding and take photos for insurance purposes if it’s safe to do so. Don’t attempt major repairs yourself, as this can sometimes make the situation worse or create safety hazards.
When we answer your emergency call, we’ll walk you through specific steps based on your particular situation. The most important thing is to stop the water flow immediately to prevent further damage, then call a professional plumber who understands Dollar Point’s specific challenges with mountain climate and seasonal property use.
Insulate pipes in your home’s crawl spaces, attic, and garage. These exposed pipes are most susceptible to freezing. The more insulation you use, the better protected your pipes are. When it’s extremely cold, a tiny opening can let in enough cold air to cause a pipe to freeze. Disconnect garden hoses and, if practical, use an indoor valve to shut off and drain water from pipes leading to outside faucets.
When the weather is very cold outside, let the cold water drip from the faucet served by exposed pipes. Running water through the pipe – even at a trickle – helps prevent pipes from freezing. Industry data shows that annual plumbing inspections can reduce emergency repair costs by up to 60%. Regular maintenance is especially important for Dollar Point properties that experience seasonal use patterns.
