Quick answer
Turn off the main water shut-off valve right away (usually near the water meter or where the line enters the house), switch off the water heater, open a faucet at the lowest point to drain the lines, and move valuables away from the water. Then call an emergency plumber. Don't rely on tape or clamps as a fix — they're temporary at best.
Los Angeles doesn't get freeze-burst pipes like colder cities, so when a pipe bursts here, there's almost always an underlying cause: galvanized pipe that has rusted through from the inside, copper thinned by decades of hard water, a failed fitting or push-on connector, high water pressure from a failed pressure regulator, or ground movement stressing a line in a wall or slab.
Our first job is getting the water stopped and the area safe. Then we expose the damaged section with the smallest opening possible, cut out the failed pipe, and replace it with new copper, PEX, or CPVC — matched to what's already in the house — and pressure-test the repair before anything gets closed up.
Before we leave, we check your incoming water pressure and look at the condition of the surrounding pipe. If the house has original galvanized lines or this is the third leak in a year, we'll say so and price a reroute or whole house repiping alongside the spot repair — so you can decide with real numbers in front of you, not under pressure at midnight.

“We had a sewer backup on a Sunday night — our laundry room was completely flooded. I called Rooter Rescue at 9 PM and they had a tech at the door within 45 minutes. He cleared a major root intrusion in the main line and had everything flowing again by midnight. I couldn't believe the response time. They're the only plumber I'll ever call.”

“My water bill had been climbing for months and I couldn't figure out why. Rooter Rescue used electronic detection equipment to find a slab leak under my kitchen floor without ripping up a single tile — found it in under an hour. The repair was clean, fast, and came in exactly at the estimate. These guys are total pros.”
Mike T.

“My water heater died on a Friday morning. I called three plumbers — two couldn't get to me until next week. Rooter Rescue had a new unit installed that same afternoon. The tech explained every option clearly, gave me a fair price without any pressure, and left the work area cleaner than he found it. Five stars isn't enough.”

Straight answers to what homeowners ask us most about burst pipe repair.
Freezing is rare here, so the usual culprits are corroded galvanized pipe, copper worn thin by hard water, failed fittings or supply hoses, and excessive water pressure. Many LA homes have street pressure well above the 80 PSI plumbing code limit when the pressure regulator fails, which stresses every pipe and fitting in the house.
