Gene's Plumbing handles burst pipe repair across North Chatham and the surrounding area — licensed, insured and available for emergencies.
Frozen pipes in North Chatham 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.
The expensive version of burst pipe repair in North Chatham is the one that gets done twice — a patch that holds through spring, fails in the heat, and takes the drywall with it the second time.
Work in North Chatham is done to hold: proper materials, the joint pressure tested in front of you where the job allows it, and the area left clean. If the honest recommendation for your burst pipe repair situation is the smaller fix, that is what you will be told.
What happens from the first call to the final test.
A plumber asks the questions on the phone that narrow it down, so the right parts and the right machine are already on the truck when it arrives.
A gauge goes on the system, a camera goes down the line, or the meter gets checked with everything off — whichever actually answers the question. Nobody quotes a repair on a guess.
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.
Before the truck goes you see it working — the drain running, the pressure holding, the pit cycling — not just a thumbs up from the driveway.

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."
"Well pump quit on a holiday weekend. He got the pressure switch replaced same day and told me the tank had maybe a year left rather than selling me one right then. Called him back for the tank in the spring."
"Water heater let go on a Sunday morning and flooded half the basement. Had someone here inside two hours, new tank in by afternoon, and he hauled the old one off. Price was what he said on the phone."
