Most of our Charlotte burst pipe cleanup & restoration jobs come from older neighborhoods, where the housing stock just has more failure points.
What a typical call looks like
A Charlotte customer in their any era; common in pre-2000 homes home had been chasing a slow leak from a refrigerator supply line that ran for two weeks before the homeowner noticed for weeks before calling. Pex fitting failure behind the refrigerator was the actual cause. We selective demolition of moldy drywall, mold remediation, dry-out, and full reconstruction; everything stable since. About $262 all in.
The actual work
Burst pipe events are the highest-volume call we run, especially January through March. A single burst supply line at residential pressure (50-70 PSI) flows about 4-8 gallons per minute. Run for 4 hours overnight, you've got 1,000+ gallons inside the building.
First job is finding and stopping the source. We coordinate with your plumber if you don't have one — most regions our crews bring a working partnership with local plumbers for fast source-control.
Then extraction starts in the lowest, wettest area first. Crawl spaces and basements typically before main living areas. Drying setup goes in immediately.
Most burst-pipe events resolve in 4 to 7 days of drying. Reconstruction (drywall, flooring, paint) follows.
