Seeing the extent of the damage can be hard and knowing that your beloved home has to be restored can be difficult to face.
We recommend you call for an assessment to see if a pipe has burst if you notice any of the following:
- Your water doesn’t look the same as it did before. Burst pipes can rust and cause the water to have a brownish tint. This can add bacteria to the water and needs to be addressed right away.
- Water pressure is not stable. If you notice the water pressure fluctuates up and down, this is a sign that a pipe has burst.
- There are puddles under your sink. This means water collecting is the home and can be from a pipe burst.
- Something smells like rotten eggs. This often means there is leaking sewage which is very dangerous for the health of you and your loved ones. Call an expert right away if you smell rotten eggs.
- Your pipes make noise. Pipes in good condition without having been broken or bursting will not many any noise. If you hear banging in the pipes, you will hear noises behind your walls. This could be pipe bursting.
- You hear water running. A sure sign that a pipe has burst is if you hear noises inside the walls that sound like water running or gurgling.
- Your ceiling has water stains. If the pipe has burst on the upper floor, you will see water leaking down and making water stains on the ceiling. You might also see the paint cracking.
Our Process
When you have a burst pipe in your home, you can call us to address and inspect the issue. Chances are, your home might be flooded in some areas, so we might also have to do water mitigation or restoration.
Keep in mind that trying to clean your own home after a pipe burst is usually not a good option because you never know how severe the water damage can be and you might end up making it worse by trying to fix the damage on your own.
When it comes to us, here is how we handle a pipe burst as professionals:
Step One: Safety Is the Priority
We have to ensure your safety before we do anything. Most of the time, we turn the power to the home off because we don’t want any of the electrical appliances to become damaged. We also don’t want wires exposed and getting wet because this can cause an even bigger issue.
Step Two: Removing Wet Item
Next, we will remove all the items that are wet and soaked. This might include carpets, furniture, and all other removable items. We will also take a look at all the items and determine if they are salvageable or not.
If we think the items can be saved, we will take them to be restored. If the water damage is too much, the items may need to be thrown away as when too much water is absorbed, the items can grow too much mold and shouldn’t be brought back into the home.
Step Three: Removing the Water
We remove the water with more than a just mop and towels. This way it’s always a good idea to bring in professionals because we suction more of the water out and do a more efficient job compared to if you just removed the water with towels alone.
We have special dry vacuums that can suction the water out of the floor and the walls. This ensures all the water is removed even from hard-to-reach spots. It also ensures no water is left and decreases the risk of mold growing in the walls of the home.
If we do find mold though, we can begin the mold remediation process which includes removing all the mold from the home and ensuring that the conditions are not ideal for it to come back.
Step Four: Dehumidifiers
When you have water damage in the home, the air is very moist. The areas inside the walls and under the floors can also be very moist. Our goal is to completely dry these areas and ensure that no moisture is left.
We have large commercial-grade dehumidifiers that we set up in the home to dry out all the moisture. We also have humidity testers where we can check the home to ensure it is drying out well.
We always make sure the moisture levels are safe before we pack up our things and leave after our work is done.
If the weather is good, we will also open the doors and windows so that fresh and dry air can come inside the home.
By using our commercial-grade equipment and professional knowledge, your home will be clean and dry in no time. We also find the source of the pipe burst and do any extra plumbing or electrical work that might be done if the pipe damaged any parts of your home.
It’s extremely important to allow us to handle the repair work because we pay attention to every detail and ensure your home is safe before you go back into it. Let us help you restore your home today after you have experienced a pipe burst.
