Cost of a burst pipe may depend on where it is located.
The cost to repair a burst pipe will depend a great deal on where the pipe is located and if this is deemed an emergency repair. If the burst pipe is located in an easy to get access place, the cost of the repair will be much less expensive.
If you intend to have a plumber make the repair and it has easy access, you can expect to pay from $100 to $200 for a simple repair. If the repair is located inside a wall, underneath the ground or under a concrete foundation slab the cost can go up substantially and your final repair cost will depend on the additional labor charges to gain access to the burst pipe. A plumber will most likely charge more if the repair has to be made on an emergency basis such as a holiday, night or weekend.
You also have to consider any water damage that may have been done to your home or building because of the leaking water. Water damage repair costs can sometimes be in the thousands of dollars. If the water leak is not stopped quickly enough or if the water pipe burst in a wall inside your home and you don’t find it till the damage has occurred. These repairs can be quite expensive.
So when you have a burst water pipe you need to act fast. Stop the water flow quickly because sometimes the cost of the repair will not be as much of a concern as the cost of the water damage to your property.
