From the books — a recent Columbus job
Property manager call, Columbus-area duplex. Both units had a slow leak from a refrigerator supply line that ran for two weeks before the homeowner noticed. We pulled the system apart and found PEX fitting failure behind the refrigerator. Selective demolition of moldy drywall, mold remediation, dry-out, and full reconstruction on the same trip — both tenants happy. $386.
What this service includes
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.
