What Should I Do Immediately When a Burst Pipe Happens?

Shut off your home’s main water valve, then call T.E. Spall & Son for same-day burst pipe repair. If water is near outlets or appliances, switch off power at the breaker for that area. We handle burst and frozen pipe repairs across Scranton, Old Forge, and nearby.

Quick steps:

• Turn off main water valve.
