Built for Minnesota winters

Cottage Grove sits in one of the coldest metro corridors in the lower 48. Every winter brings weeks where the temperature never climbs above zero, and -20°F snaps are a normal January event, not a freak occurrence. Water expands roughly nine percent when it freezes, and that expansion is strong enough to split copper and crack PEX — usually inside an exterior wall, a rim joist bay, or a vented crawl space where the pipe sits in the coldest air in the house.

Much of Cottage Grove's housing stock — ramblers and split-levels built from the 1960s through the 1990s — runs plumbing through exactly those cold spots. Homes up near the Mississippi river bluffs catch extra wind, which drives cold deep into wall cavities. Older copper lines, common in the city's 60s and 70s builds, are less forgiving than modern PEX when ice forms inside them. Burst and frozen pipes aren't bad luck here — they're a predictable winter pattern, and they're what we specialize in.

Common questions

Burst Pipe Repair questions, answered

What should I do first when a pipe bursts?
Three things, in order: shut off your main water valve (usually in the basement near the water meter), call us so a technician is already on the way, and move valuables and electronics off the floor away from the water. Don't wait to see how bad it gets — water spreads fast.
How fast can you get to my home?
We're based in Cottage Grove and dispatch from here, so most calls in the city and nearby suburbs get a fast response. When you call, tell us what's happening and where you are, and we'll give you a straight answer about timing — no vague promises.
Which areas do you serve?
Cottage Grove is our home base, and we serve the surrounding east-metro suburbs including Woodbury, St. Paul Park, Newport, Hastings, South St. Paul, and Afton. If you're nearby with a burst or frozen pipe, call and we'll tell you straight whether we can reach you fast.
What happens when I call?
We'll ask where you are, what's happening (burst, frozen, flooding), and whether your main water valve is off. If it isn't and you can reach it safely, we'll walk you through shutting it. Then we dispatch a technician and tell you what to do while you wait.
Do you handle frozen pipes, or only ones that already burst?
Both. We thaw frozen pipes with controlled heat before they split, and we repair burst pipes and clean up the water after. If your faucets have gone to a trickle in a cold snap, that's the moment to call — before the freeze becomes a burst.
There's water in my basement — is that something you handle?
Yes. Burst pipes send water downhill, which usually means the basement. We extract standing water, dry the structure, and clean up — whether the water came from a split pipe, a failed sump pump, or spring melt.
Should I try to fix the pipe myself first?
Shut the main valve yourself — that's the right move and we'll even talk you through finding it. But leave the pipe repair to a technician. A bad DIY repair on a pressurized line fails at the worst possible moment, usually at night.
Do you work on older homes with copper plumbing?
Constantly. Much of Cottage Grove's housing stock — 1960s through 1990s ramblers and split-levels — runs copper, and older copper is less forgiving than PEX when ice expands inside it. It's familiar territory for us.
How do I know if my pipe is frozen or already burst?
The simple version: faucets down to a trickle or dry in cold weather means frozen. Water appearing where it shouldn't — ceilings, walls, floors — means burst. Either way, call: a frozen pipe is a burst pipe waiting to happen, and waiting never helps.
My ceiling has a growing water stain — is that a pipe?
Very likely, especially if there's a bathroom or kitchen above it. Don't ignore a growing stain — it means water is actively traveling. Put a bucket under any drip, don't tear the ceiling open yourself, and call us to trace the source.
