Steps after a Burst Pipe
When a pipe bursts and it begins to flood, there is a clear step-by-step process that enables us and you to save as much of your money and property as possible:
- Turn Off Water: First of all, after you discover that there is a flood happening, immediately turn off the water in your home or throughout the building. Until you discover the source of the flood, you won’t want to turn your water back on.
- Call a Restoration Company: Immediately call a restoration company that specializes in cleaning up flood and water damage, such as our own company, and tell them about the situation.
- Inventory the Damage: Take note of what rooms have been flooded and which of your belongings where in the flooded area. Remove any items that aren’t completely destroyed by the initial water damage.
- Drying Process: A cleanup technician should arrive at your home or business in a timely manner, where they will begin removing the water and then beginning the drying process using high-powered fans. It’s important to dry the area as soon as possible, or else mold will grow at a rapid rate.
- Water Damage Cleanup: After drying, a technician will undergo a deep cleaning process that will eliminate any bacteria and mold growth that was caused by the flood.
- Find Leak Source: After this, a technician will test your water system to discover where the burst pipe, so that you can have it replaced and repaired.
