Who should I call for a burst pipe?
Short answer
Call a licensed plumbing professional for the pipe itself. If water has soaked flooring, drywall, or ceilings, a water damage restoration company usually handles drying, and your insurer should be notified early.

Who does what
- Plumber — isolates and repairs the failed line
- Restoration company — extraction, drying, mold prevention
- Insurer — coverage determination for sudden water damage
- Utility — if the break is at or before the meter
What to tell them
Say whether the water is shut off, where the leak appears, how long it has been running, and whether power is on in the affected area. That determines dispatch priority for most providers.
