A recent burst pipe cleanup & restoration call
Got a call last month from a the outskirts Colorado Springs home — any era; common in pre-2000 homes build. Symptom: a copper supply line that froze and burst in a 1985 home, flooding the master bath and bedroom. Cause: copper pipe split where it ran through an uninsulated exterior wall. Plumber repaired, we extracted standing water, dried the affected zone in 5 days, all done in before lunch, billed flat-rate at $285.
Scope of 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.
