Burst Pipe Cleanup Services

BURST PIPES RESTORATION & REPAIR

When pipes burst, they can spill vast amounts of water, which can cause damage to flooring, walls, ceilings, and furniture. If a pipe bursts on the second floor of a home, it can cause even more damage as the water can soak through the floor or carpet to the ceiling below. 

A technician will evaluate the affected areas of your house to estimate the damage and how to best mitigate it. We will then remove the water and vacuum and dry the area with industrial fans and humidifiers. During this process, we will use infrared cameras and moisture detectors to locate any hidden moisture trapped under flooring or behind walls. All the water must be located and dried out, or you will likely be dealing with a mold problem shortly after. We will then disinfect the area to take of any surface bacteria and prevent mold growth. If furniture or personal possessions have been contaminated, we can provide content removal and cleaning services. In the case that mold develops, mold remediation may be necessary. 

Alpha One Restore also specializes in the rebuilding of homes after disasters. We can assist with drywall repair, wood floor installation, tile installation, kitchen remodeling, painting, and more. If we can’t fix it ourselves, we can recommend a local specialist.

How do burst pipes damage your property?

A pipe rupture can cause extensive damage to your home or business. For example, water can seep through walls, saturating carpets, furniture, and other items in its path. This water damage can also lead to mold growth, compromise your building’s structure and cause further damage. To prevent costly repairs or replacing part of your home’s structure and its contents, it is important to act quickly in the event of a burst pipe.

What should I do after a water pipe bursts?

You must act immediately. The first thing that you should do is find the main water supply line and shut it off. This will prevent more water from leaking out of the pipes and causing more damage. After the water supply is shut off, the plumber will assess the damage and begin the repair process. The plumber will then repair or replace the damaged pipe.

Once the water supply has been shut off, contact Alpha One Restore. Our experienced team of technicians has the tools and knowledge needed to safely and effectively cleanup and repair any burst pipe issues you may have. We can also assist with repairs or replacements that may be needed after the cleanup is completed.

Insurance Coverage for Burst Pipes

In most cases, your insurance company will cover the cleanup and repair costs for a burst pipe. We can work with your insurance company and adjuster to facilitate the claims process. We can help provide you with information and answer questions that you may have about how the water damage restoration and insurance claims process works. 

Why do you need a water damage restoration company?

Water damage from burst pipes can have serious consequences. You need professional help to clean up the water and ensure the safety of your home or business. Professional restoration companies have tools such as moisture meters and infrared cameras to locate trapped moisture. In addition, they have the industrial equipment to completely dry out your property. If the affected area is only partially dried, mold and structural damage is a possible result.
