Burst supply line repair in the US.
The braided or plastic hose feeding a toilet, sink or washing machine has split, or the shut-off valve behind it is weeping. The part costs under $30; almost everything you are being charged is the visit.
The same wrench costs different money in different places, because the hand holding it does. Pick your city for the local band, the upsells and the script.
- 01Shut the valve directly behind the fixture — clockwise, all the way. If it will not move, shut the main.
- 02Put a bucket under it and pull towels away from anything electrical.
- 03Photograph the split hose and the valve in the same shot, before anyone replaces either.
DIY if you can reach the valve and own a wrench. Pro if the valve itself will not turn, or the water is still moving after you shut it.
- A whole-house repipe pitched to fix one $30 supply hose.
- Replacing the fixture — toilet, faucet, washer — when only the hose failed.
- A haul-away fee of $50–$200 on a job whose waste fits in one hand.
If the split ran overnight, the plumbing bill stops being the expensive part. Water damage remediation runs into the thousands and belongs on the insurance claim, not the plumber's invoice.
National band from published US cost guides, 2026 editions. Adjusted for this metro by scaling only the labour share of the job by the metro's median plumber wage against the national median of $34.70/hr (BLS OEWS, May 2025). Parts are not scaled.
Comparable quotes from this metro in our Price book: 0. This band is derived from national guides and local wage data, not from local quotes. We will say so on this page until it is not true.
If you think a figure here is wrong, write to pricebook@getitplumming.com with the quote. Corrections go into the next edition and we do not argue with an invoice.
Thinnest job in the book. No consumer guide prices a supply-line hose or stop-valve swap as its own line item, so this band is read down from Angi's broader burst-pipe repair category ($150–$5,000) to the small-repair end of it. Treat it as a proxy, not a quoted figure.
