A pipe usually fails inside a wall cavity, which means the visible damage is only a fraction of what's actually happening behind the drywall.
Our Kirkman, IA Burst Pipe Water Damage crews start with locating the shutoff valve and confirming water pressure has actually stopped.
Our Kirkman, IA technicians locate the main or local shutoff valve immediately if it hasn't been closed already.
Pinpointing the break location prevents unnecessary demolition in the wrong section of wall.
Drywall and insulation come out only where moisture readings confirm saturation, not the entire wall.
