The Burst Pipe Water Removal Process in Columbus
Emergency Burst Pipe Cleanup
Emergency cleanup begins with shutting off the water and power to flooded rooms, then pumping out standing water right away.
Pipe Leak Water Removal
Small leaks are found with moisture meters, and the wet area is opened only where readings show water inside.
Burst Pipe Mold Prevention
After drying, studs, plates and subfloor that were soaked can be treated before new drywall and flooring are installed.
Broken Pipe Water Cleanup
Swollen baseboards, fallen ceiling drywall and wet insulation near the break are removed and bagged before drying equipment goes in.

Water from a burst supply line is clean at first, so extraction makes it more likely that floors and walls can be dried in place.
