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 Colchester, CT Burst Pipe Water Damage crews start with locating the shutoff valve and confirming water pressure has actually stopped.
Our Colchester, CT technicians locate the main or local shutoff valve immediately if it hasn't been closed already.
Pinpointing the break location prevents unnecessary demolition in the wrong section of wall.
We open wall cavities in a controlled, targeted way based on documented moisture data.
Our Colchester, CT team works alongside your plumber or one we can refer, so the repair and drying stay coordinated.
