Burst Pipe Cleanup

A burst pipe can immediately cause huge problems for any home or business. Water damage can get expensive – not to mention dangerous – extremely quickly, so it’s important to act fast when you suspect there’s a problem with your pipes. BCC Restoration’s burst pipe cleanup services are here to help, from initial assessment to full reconstruction of the damaged area.

Burst pipes constitute an emergency situation. If you’re dealing with a water-related emergency of any kind, call us immediately. We’re available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for emergency water cleanup.

Signs of a Burst Pipe

As dramatic as a burst pipe sounds, you might not know you’re dealing with one right away. Luckily, there are a few signs you can look out for if you suspect you have a burst pipe:

• Water stains. Discoloration or staining on your walls, ceiling, or floor usually means that water is getting somewhere it shouldn’t.
• Mold growth. Water damage can easily lead to mold growth – which can lead to real health concerns if left untreated.
• Warped ceilings or walls. Water can damage structural integrity, causing walls and ceilings to sag as they become saturated with water.
• Higher water bills. Burst pipes will constantly release water, leading to a higher bill. Even if you don’t notice any of the above symptoms, a higher-than-usual water bill could point to a damaged or broken pipe.

Note that all of these signs have other potential causes; your situation may or may not be as drastic as a burst pipe. However, if you notice these or any other symptoms of damaged pipes, don’t hesitate to get in touch with the BCC Restoration team as soon as possible. We’ll diagnose your problem and get right to work building a plan to fix it.

Common Pipe Burst Causes

If you’re worried about the possibility of a burst pipe in your home or business, here are a few factors to be on the lookout for.

• Freezing temperatures. Water expands when it freezes, and if it expands inside your pipes, it can break them.
• Clogs. A stubborn clog can actually build up enough pressure inside a pipe to burst it.
• Accidental damage. Have you recently had construction done? Heavy equipment can damage your pipes during excavation or simply by driving over them.
• Tree root intrusion. Tree roots can puncture underground pipes as they grow. If you have trees growing near your pipes, they may eventually cause problems.

If you suspect any of these problems are the cause of your plumbing woes, get in touch ASAP. Prevention is always easier than repair, so if we can stop a problem before it even starts, the outlook gets even better.
