A burst pipe announces itself. There's no mystery, no slow reveal. Water is coming out somewhere it shouldn't, fast, and everything in your head goes loud at once. So let's keep this simple. If that's happening right now, stop reading and call (858) 324-6400. This exact situation is what the emergency response exists for.
If you're reading calmly, you're probably here about the quieter version. A pipe that's weeping at a fitting. A supply line that looks corroded and worries you. Water pressure that changed. San Diego's hard water works on copper from the inside, thinning pipe walls year after year until a pinhole opens, and the pinhole version does more damage than the dramatic one, because it runs hidden. Either version deserves the same response. Find the failure, understand why it happened, and fix the actual cause, not just the wet spot.
That last part matters most. A pipe that failed from age and water chemistry will fail again nearby, because its neighbors lived the same life. Sometimes the honest fix is the one repair. Sometimes it's a conversation about the line, or in an older house, about a repipe, and you'll get that conversation straight, with the reasons visible and the decision entirely yours. Repairs that last beat repairs that repeat. That's the standard here.
