Most burst water pipe situations occur during the cold months when cold air causes water to expand. When water reaches freezing point, it expands in the water pipes and eventually causes the water pipe to burst.
Any kind of pipe material can burst from the pressure of expanding freezing water - plastic, PVC, lead, copper, iron - you name it. A water pipe burst can cause you to lose hundreds of gallons of water per hour, potentially causing thousands of dollars in water damage, and increasing the likelihood of mold growth. If you ever have a burst water pipe at your home or commercial property, act quickly to minimize water damage and avoid expensive repairs and replacement costs. Contact LMS Restoration Houston immediately and we guarantee a quick response for any water damage restoration service in Houston and Galveston, TX.
When you contact LMS Restoration Houston, we will immediately dispatch our restoration specialists to your property. While waiting on our team to arrive, you can check to make sure there is no water near electrical outlets and if there is, make sure to turn off your main power switch immediately. If there are furniture, electrical appliances, and other items near the flooded area, try to move them to a dry place.
Upon arrival, our trained restoration technicians will assess the extent of the damage right away. Our high-capacity pumps will handle quick water removal. Then once the water is removed, we can repair the burst pipe. But it doesn’t end there. There will still be moisture, and if you have carpets, they will most likely be soaked. We use powerful dehumidifiers to remove moisture that can’t be removed using our water pumps. We can also pinpoint wet and moist areas that you can't necessarily see using our top-of-the-line infrared cameras. By making sure the affected area is completely dry and free of any moisture, mold growth can be avoided. We then proceed with the cleanup process. We can also help with content restoration in case some of your furniture and other belongings got wet and are at risk of water damage.
