1.
Prioritize Safety
Before attempting any water damage restoration, prioritize your safety and that of your family. Identify potential hazards such as electrical issues, structural damage, or contaminated water. If electrical appliances or outlets are exposed to water, immediately disconnect the main power supply to the affected area. Take care when navigating wet surfaces to avoid accidents.
2.
Stop the Water Source
If you can identify the source of the burst pipe the next step is to stop the flow of water. Shutting off the main water supply to your home or business can quickly stop the problem and give you time to call in the experts. Swift action can prevent a burst pipe from causing worse damage.
3.

Minimize Further Damage
While awaiting for our team to get there, you can take initial steps to stop further property damage. ONLY do this if it is safe to do so and AFTER you have documented the damage. Remove any items from the area that can be safely relocated to a dry area to prevent them from soaking up more water and being damaged permanently.

You can trust ExactRecon with your Burst Pipe Cleanup & Restoration
Michiganders know that our cold weather can be extreme….extreme enough to freeze any water inside of your pipes causing them to burst. It is especially common when the weather turns to frigid temperatures below zero. Pipes don’t actually freeze, but when the water inside them does it quickly expands and if it puts enough pressure on the pipe that is when we see this happen the most. If these leaks start slow and go unnoticed, they can wreak havoc inside walls, on floors, carpets, drywall, and insulation. Burst pipes are one of the most damaging causes of water damage in homes and businesses. That is why we have expert water damage specialists on call 24/7. Our team is ready to handle any situation at any time of day or night. Burst pipes don’t happen when it is convenient and when they do our experienced team is ready to come help with the cleanup and restoration at a moments notice.
What Not to Do when a Frozen Pipe Bursts
Don’t Contact Your Insurance Company
Contacting your insurance company directly can be risky. Misusing terms or descriptions may lead to a denied claim. Trust our experts to manage this aspect for you. We will handle all the details, including meeting with the inspector on-site to provide an accurate explanation of the damage.
Avoid DIY Cleanup
Water damage cleanup can be hazardous depending on the severity and type of damage. It’s best to wait for professionals to handle the work. Our team can rapidly arrive on-site to clear out damaged items, dry the space effectively, and eliminate the risk of mold or bacteria growth.
Don’t Delay
Time is of the essence when dealing with water damage. The longer it lingers, the greater the potential for additional damage. Facing water damage in your home can be stressful, but swift and decisive action can mitigate damage and kickstart the recovery process effectively.
