What drives the price
- Where the pipe is. An exposed pipe in a basement is quick. One inside a finished wall or ceiling means opening and patching drywall.
- Pipe material. PEX and copper repairs differ in parts and time.
- Water damage. Drying and repairing what the water reached usually costs more than the pipe.
- Timing. Bursts happen on cold nights, so after-hours fees are common.
