Gene's Plumbing handles burst pipe repair across College Place and the surrounding area — licensed, insured and available for emergencies.
Frozen pipes in College Place split at the weak point, usually in an exterior wall, a crawlspace or over an unheated garage. The repair includes insulating that run so it does not repeat.
Every house handles burst pipe repair a little differently depending on its age, and College Place has plenty of both old and new. The fitting, the pipe material and the way the last plumber left it all change what the right repair is.
That is why the College Place truck carries parts for more than one era of plumbing. The burst pipe repair job gets finished on the first visit wherever it can be, because a second trip costs you a day and costs us the trust.
How the job actually runs, start to finish.
Tell us what you are seeing, hearing or smelling. If water is actively running into the house, you get walked to your main shutoff before anything else is discussed.
Finding the real cause is what keeps the repair small. Opening one square foot of wall instead of twenty starts with knowing exactly where to open it.
If there is a cheaper option that will actually hold, you hear about it. If the cheap option is a patch that fails in six months, you hear that too.
The repair gets made with proper materials, pressure tested where the job allows, and checked in front of you before anything is closed back up.

What homeowners said after this job.
"Burst pipe in the crawlspace in January. He had the main off and the section cut out before I finished explaining. Pressure tested it in front of me before he closed it up."
"Whole house was on galvanized from the fifties. They repiped in PEX one bathroom at a time so we were never without water overnight. Drywall patches were cut clean and easy to fix."
"Kitchen drain had been slow for a year. Ran the cable, then put a camera down and showed me the grease ring on his screen. Explained what to stop pouring down it. Has not backed up since."
