Emergency Plumbing in Berthoud, CO

Northern Colorado’s Most Common Plumbing Emergency: Frozen Pipes

Berthoud winters are real winters. Temperatures regularly drop hard enough to freeze pipes running through uninsulated exterior walls, crawl spaces, or garages, and when a pipe freezes and bursts, it can happen fast. We handle frozen pipe calls throughout December, January, and February, and our technicians come prepared with the equipment and experience to assess the situation, thaw what can be safely thawed, and repair any damage that has already occurred.

Burst pipes at 2 AM in January? That’s exactly when IMS is ready. Call our 24/7 line and we’ll dispatch a technician to you.

What to Do While You Wait

While you wait for our technician to arrive, there are a few things you can do to limit damage:

1. Shut off the water. If water is actively flowing, find your main shut-off valve and turn it off. Know where yours is before an emergency happens.
2. Turn off your water heater. If you’ve shut off the main, turn off your water heater as well to prevent damage to the tank.
3. Move valuables away from standing water. Limit secondary damage while you wait.
4. Document the damage. Photos can be helpful for insurance purposes.

Why You Shouldn’t Wait on a Plumbing Emergency

Water damage compounds quickly. What starts as a burst pipe can turn into subfloor damage, mold risk, and structural issues if not addressed within hours. Freeze damage spreads along the pipe run the longer it sits. Sewage backups create health hazards that worsen by the hour. The faster you call, the less the total damage, and the less expensive the fix.

Honest Emergency Pricing

We understand that emergency calls come with the expectation of a premium, and we want you to know what you’re facing before the work begins. Our technicians provide upfront pricing before any repairs start, even in emergency situations. No surprise charges. That’s our customer-first commitment.
