A pipe usually fails inside a wall cavity, which means the visible damage is only a fraction of what's actually happening behind the drywall.
Our Scarborough, ME Burst Pipe Water Damage crews start with locating the shutoff valve and confirming water pressure has actually stopped.
Stopping the water source is priority one before any extraction begins.
Our Scarborough, ME crews trace pressure loss to identify the failure point before opening drywall.
Drywall and insulation come out only where moisture readings confirm saturation, not the entire wall.
We coordinate directly with a licensed plumber for the actual pipe repair once our mitigation work is done.
