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 Chatfield, TX 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.
Pinpointing the break location prevents unnecessary demolition in the wrong section of wall.
