What do homeowners ask about Burst Pipe?
Should I call a plumber or you first?
Call a plumber first if water is still running and you can't find the shutoff — they need to stop the source. Call us first if the leak is already stopped and you need extraction and drying. In practice, we both end up on site for most jobs. We coordinate.
Will my insurance cover a burst pipe?
Almost always yes for sudden ruptures — it's the textbook covered cause of loss. Long-term slow leaks that show evidence of months of seepage often get pushed back as 'gradual damage' (excluded). The faster you discover it and document it, the cleaner the claim.
Do you fix the pipe?
We don't — pipe repair is plumbing work and we want a licensed plumber on that side. We handle everything water-related: extraction, cavity drying, demo of saturated materials, mold prevention, and the rebuild coordination after repair is done.
Slab leak — do you have to break the floor?
The plumber decides on the repair approach (jackhammer through slab vs. reroute through walls/attic). Once the leak is stopped, our job is to dry the slab, the bottom plates, the cabinet bases, and any wet framing. We use InjectiDry hoses through small holes in the wall to dry cavities without big demo.

Found mold behind the laundry-room baseboard during a remodel. They contained the area, set up scrubbers, removed the affected drywall, and brought in an independent tester for the clearance. Done right, no shortcuts.
Slab leak under the kitchen. They worked alongside our plumber, dried the cabinets in place with InjectiDry, and saved us from gutting the whole kitchen. Daily moisture readings sent to our adjuster.
