About burst pipe water damage cleanup
A burst pipe can release a large volume of water quickly, often inside a wall or ceiling where you can't see it. By the time stains appear, water may have travelled across joists and down to the floor below.
Once the line is shut off, we trace where the water went, remove it, open cavities where necessary and dry the structure.
Common causes
- Freezing temperatures in exterior walls
- Corroded or aging pipes
