Our local teams in Georgetown and Horry Counties are ready to respond to water damage emergencies in Murrells Inlet 24 hours a day. A burst or cracked pipe may start as a minor inconvenience, but it can quickly escalate into a significant problem, causing extensive property damage.

Cracks in pipes can occur due to a variety of reasons, such as freezing temperatures, corrosion, or physical impact. Even a tiny crack can allow water to seep out, damaging walls, floors, and ceilings.

Over time, constant exposure to moisture can weaken the structural elements of your home, promote mold growth, and damage electrical systems. In addition to the physical damage, a cracked pipe can significantly increase your water bill due to the continuous leak.

Identifying a burst or cracked pipe early is vital to minimizing damage. Look out for signs like unexplained damp spots, a drop in water pressure, or the sound of running water when no faucets are on. If you suspect a crack, it’s essential to turn off the water supply and contact a plumber immediately. Prompt repair of the cracked pipe can prevent further damage, saving you from costly maintenance and protecting the safety and comfort of your home.
