Emergency water control, extraction, moisture detection and drying after a frozen, damaged or leaking pipe.
A burst supply line can release a large volume of water in minutes, and it often happens inside a wall, ceiling or unheated space where the damage is hidden until it reaches a finished surface.
Cleanup begins with stopping the flow and finding every path the water followed, because pipe failures typically wet framing and insulation well beyond the visible stain.
Warning Signs to Watch For
- A sudden drop in water pressure or running-water sound in walls
- Ceiling stains that expand while you watch
- Cold spots or damp drywall along an exterior wall
- Unexplained increases in water usage
- Water appearing at the base of a wall far from any fixture
Common Causes in Burlington Properties
- Freezing in unheated crawl spaces, garages and exterior walls
- Corroded or aged supply lines
- Failed washing machine and dishwasher hoses
- Loose or failed push-fit and compression connections
- Water hammer stressing pipe joints over time
Our Cleanup and Restoration Process
- 01
Stop the flow
The supply is shut off, or you are guided to the shutoff before we arrive.
- 02
Trace the path
Meters and thermal imaging help locate where water travelled inside the assembly.
- 03
Extraction
Standing water is removed from floors and any pooled cavity areas.
- 04
Open and dry
Targeted access points allow air movement into wet cavities and insulation.
- 05
Verification
Drying continues until readings match unaffected areas of the property.
Why Timely Action Matters
Pipe water is usually clean at first, but if it sits in wall cavities the situation changes quickly and the amount of material that must be removed grows.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is water damage from a burst pipe covered by insurance?
Many Ontario policies cover sudden and accidental water escape, but coverage varies by policy and cause. Your insurer determines whether a specific claim is covered.
What should I do first when a pipe bursts?
Shut off the main water supply if it is safe to reach, avoid areas with electrical hazards, and call for cleanup once the flow has stopped.
Will you need to open walls?
Sometimes small access points are needed to dry insulation and framing. We keep them as limited as the readings allow.
