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 Lewiston, CA 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.
We use pressure testing and moisture tracing to locate exactly where a supply line failed inside the wall.
Drywall and insulation come out only where moisture readings confirm saturation, not the entire wall.
Our Lewiston, CA team works alongside your plumber or one we can refer, so the repair and drying stay coordinated.
