Burst Pipe Cleanup & Restoration — Minneapolis, MN
There's a reason burst pipe cleanup & restoration in Minneapolis is mostly handled by small shops, not the big franchises: nobody beats a guy who knows the housing stock and answers his phone. We work clean, leave the area better than we found it, and stick around to test the repair before we drive off.
From the books — a recent Minneapolis job
A Minneapolis 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 $312 all in.
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.
