Signs You Might Have a Burst Pipe
Sometimes, it’s obvious that you’re dealing with a burst pipe. If water is pouring into your house, there are only so many things that could be causing that to happen. However, burst pipes are not always this obvious. Watch out for these subtle warning signs that you have a burst pipe on your hands. Catching these signs early can help minimize damage and protect your home:
- Unexplained Water Stains: Marks on ceilings, walls, or floors often point to hidden leaks.
- Sudden Drop in Water Pressure: A clear sign that water may be escaping through a damaged pipe.
- Musty or Damp Odors: Smells around baseboards or under cabinets can suggest trapped moisture.
- Pooling Water or Wet Spots: Puddles in unusual places are never a good sign.
- Spike in Water Bill: Higher bills with no change in usage may mean a pipe is leaking inside your home.
- Strange Noises: Gurgling, hissing, or knocking sounds behind walls can signal pipe pressure issues.
Cold Weather? It Might Be a Burst Frozen Pipe
Illinois winters can be brutal, and when temperatures drop below freezing, water inside your pipes can expand and cause the pipe to crack or rupture. If your pipe has recently frozen, it may already be leaking without you knowing it.
Look for signs like:
- No water or a trickle when you turn on the tap
- Frost or condensation on exposed pipes
- Damp drywall or water stains shortly after a cold snap
- Gurgling or banging noises when using faucets
If you’re seeing any of these issues after a cold night, call Arnold & Sons. We’ll check for burst frozen pipes and repair the damage before it spreads.

Professional Repair
We remove the damaged pipe section and replace it with high-quality, code-compliant materials like copper, PVC, or PEX. Most repairs are completed the same day.
In homes with aging or heavily corroded pipes, we may recommend partial or whole-home repiping to prevent future leaks and costly water damage. If that’s the case, we’ll walk you through your options and provide a clear, honest quote.

Full System Testing & Cleanup
Once the repair is complete, we test your system to ensure everything is functioning properly, then clean the work area thoroughly, leaving your home just as we found it.
