(737) 530-9201Tap to call the 24/7 dispatch line
A burst supply line is the fastest water emergency a Hill Country home faces. A fully open half-inch line can push hundreds of gallons an hour into a house, and it does not stop until someone closes the main. Whether it let go from a hard freeze, high pressure, or a failed fitting, Texas Dry Home answers live around the clock, gets the water out, and dries every floor and wall cavity it reached before mold sets in.
How burst pipe water cleanup is handled in Spicewood
Call and dispatch
The response team answers 24/7, and the nearest Spicewood crew heads out with pumps, air movers, and moisture meters.
On-site assessment
The crew finds the source and the full reach of the water, including what soaked into the slab, subfloor, and wall cavities.
Extract and dry
The extraction crew pulls the standing water, then runs air movers and dehumidifiers to a verified dry standard, not just the surface.
Verify and document
Moisture readings are logged until the structure is dry, then the loss is documented with the photos and daily readings an adjuster needs to move a claim.
Why pipes burst in the Hill Country
Central Texas does not freeze often, and that is exactly the problem: homes here are not built for it, so when a hard freeze does hit, pipes let go across the whole region. Common causes the crews see:
- Hard winter freezes, like the 2021 statewide event, splitting lines in attics, exterior walls, and unconditioned garages
- Uninsulated attic supply lines, which Texas homes run for the attic air handler and upstairs baths
- High water pressure on Hill Country water systems stressing fittings and older lines
- Hard water scaling and weakening copper until a pressure spike splits it
Before the next cold snap, the Ready.gov winter weather checklist covers wrapping exposed lines and letting a faucet drip, which prevents most Texas freeze bursts.
Burst pipe cleanup in Spicewood
When a line lets go, minutes matter. The crew confirms the water is off at the main and checks for electrical hazards, then extracts the standing water with pumps and truck-mounted units. A burst line soaks the subfloor and runs down inside walls, so the water extraction gear clears what pooled while the crew opens the wet cavities. Then air movers and dehumidifiers dry the framing and flooring, and the structural drying crews follow the moisture readings until the structure is dry, not just the surface. A plumber repairs the line while the crew keeps the area dry and coordinates the wall repair.

☎ Call (737) 530-9201Know your main shutoff tonight
Find your main water valve, usually at the meter box or where the line enters the house, and make sure it turns by hand. Closing it in the first minute of a burst line is the single biggest thing that keeps a flood from spreading through the house before the crew arrives.
Attic lines and the Texas freeze problem
The lines most likely to burst here are the ones in the attic and along exterior walls, because the attic swings cold in a freeze and hot in summer. If a burst tank rather than a line caused your flood, that is water heater failure, and if the leak is under the concrete it is a slab leak. Wrapping attic and exterior lines and keeping the house heated during a freeze prevents most of these losses.
Documentation and your claim
A sudden burst pipe is one of the most clearly covered water losses on a homeowner policy, as long as the home was reasonably maintained and heated. The loss is documented with photos, moisture readings, and a written scope, then billed to your carrier, so you generally pay only your deductible.

Spicewood water damage questions, answered
My pipe burst, what do I do right now?
Shut the water off at the main immediately, then stay clear of any water near outlets or the electrical panel. Open a faucet to relieve pressure in the line, move what you can off the floor, and call (737) 530-9201 so a crew can extract the water and dry the structure before it spreads.
Why did my pipe burst in Texas?
Most burst pipes here happen in a hard freeze, because Hill Country homes are not built for sustained cold and run water lines through unconditioned attics and exterior walls. High water pressure, a failed fitting, or hard water weakening older copper can also split a line at any time of year.
Do you repair the pipe or just clean up the water?
The crew handles the water damage side, extraction and drying, and coordinates a plumber for the pipe repair while keeping the area dry. That way the cleanup, the drying, and the plumbing move together instead of waiting on separate calls.
How fast can you respond to a burst pipe?
The response team answers live 24/7 and reaches most of the Lake Travis Hill Country, day or night. A burst line floods fast, so the sooner the water is out and the drying started, the less damage ends up behind the walls and under the floors.
Does insurance cover a burst pipe?
A sudden burst pipe is one of the most clearly covered water losses on a standard homeowner policy, as long as the home was maintained and heated. The loss is documented with photos and readings, and billed to your carrier for the covered work.
How do I keep my pipes from bursting in a freeze?
Wrap or insulate lines in the attic, garage, and exterior walls, keep the house heated even when you travel, let an exposed faucet drip on the coldest nights, and know where your main shutoff is. Those steps prevent most Texas freeze bursts.
