A burst pipe can flood a room in minutes. Follow this exact 10-minute playbook to minimize water damage before our emergency plumbers arrive.
When a pipe bursts in your Round Rock home, every minute matters. A 1/2-inch supply line can dump 50 gallons in ten minutes — enough to ruin flooring, drywall, and belongings. Here's exactly what to do in the first ten minutes.
Minute 1: Shut off the main water
Find your main shut-off (garage, under a sink, or at the street meter) and turn it off. This single step stops the flood.
Minutes 2–3: Kill the power to affected areas
If water is near outlets, appliances, or your breaker panel, shut off electricity at the breaker for safety.
Minutes 4–6: Move valuables and contain the water
Move electronics, documents, and furniture away from the water. Lay down towels and use a wet/dry vacuum if you have one.
Minute 7: Call BlueDrop at (512) 555-0147
We dispatch a licensed Round Rock plumber immediately — average response under 60 minutes, 24/7.
Minutes 8–10: Open cabinets and start air flow
Open under-sink cabinets to let air circulate, and turn on fans. Take photos of the damage for your insurance claim.
After we arrive
We'll isolate the failed section, repair or replace the pipe to code, test the system, and document everything for your insurer.
