Common Causes for Pipe Bursts Include:
- Clogs - When there are clogs in the pipes, water pressure can build inside, causing the pipe to shift and burst open.
Homeowner Damage - Property owners might cause accidental damage to piping when renovating their home.
Improper Installation - If pipes are not properly installed in the beginning, it can lead to future problems, including pipe bursts.
Extreme Weather - When the temperatures drop below freezing levels, the cold water left in pipes can freeze and expand, thus leading to pipe bursts. Exposed pipes are especially at risk of freezing and breaking.
Tree Roots - Tree roots are naturally drawn to moist soil. If piping is set too close to a tree, the roots may grow towards the pipes and eventually break through them.

Our Water Restoration Process
After assessing the damage and creating our plan of action, our team members will start extracting water off your floor, picking up any fallen debris, and caring out your personal items into your garage or another safe place.
If its a water line supply line that caused the flood, the water is clean, we call this a Category 1 loss. If you have carpeting, we extract as much of the water as we can, then allow it to dry with the help of our industrial dehumidifiers. If there is too much damage, or if a burst pipe or flood happens while you are on vacation or away for days at a time, this would be classified as a Category 3 loss, and we must remove the carpet completely due to the presence of bacterial growth and or mold.
Next, we will examine the drywall with a moisture tester around all the affected areas. Once the moisture readings are established, we will determine if we need to take further precaution in assisting the walls to dry using a ventilation method. We then begin our mitigation procedure by bringing in industrial air movers and dehumidifiers to further help the drying out process.
Over the next few days we will be monitoring the moisture and relative humidity in your drywall and other effected areas until we are satisfied with the testers readings. We will then start the process of removing our equipment, and carefully replacing all of your belongings back into your home. Around this time, your insurance company should send out an adjuster to assess the areas damaged and take photos. Some insurance companies will apt out of sending an adjuster, no worries! We have your back and will contact your insurance company personally to insure they have the correct information. All we need is the claims number and your insurance representatives email address.
