Dealing with bursting pipes in your Bowling Green, KY, home can mean much more than just shoveling out excessive amounts of water. Along with getting professional help to fix broken pipe, contacting a professional water remediation expert can ensure proper cleanup and restoration, as well as reducing the chances of mold growth.

Improper Cleaning Can Lead to Secondary Damage

Water damage can be tricky. The main area of concern may be obvious, but water has a way of sneaking into walls, flooring, furniture, and other porous materials. If not addressed properly, that excess moisture left unchecked can quickly lead to a mold infestation and degrade vital structural components of the home. A trusted expert will arrive quickly and efficiently address the issue. While waiting for help to arrive, there are a few steps to ensure a smooth process:

  • Shut off the main water supply and find the source of the water.
  • Remove wet furniture and personal items to a dry location to air out.
  • Porous, non-essential items that are damaged should be tossed to prevent mold growth.
  • Begin removing water with buckets and wet/dry vacuum.

The Cleanup Process

Once help arrives, those bursting pipes will soon be a forgotten hassle. Armed with the know-how and proper tools, they will be able to detect hidden moisture and remove any standing water that remains. During the process, they will monitor and document the drying process, which involves intricate temperature and relative humidity controls to verify proper drying.
Once the water is gone, professional-grade deodorizing and sanitizing agents will be used to make it “Like it never even happened.” If other issues are found, you can trust that the restoration process will happen as quickly as possible and that any potential areas of secondary damage are removed and restored.
If you come home to bursting pipes, help is just a call away. Counting on a professional known for being Faster to any size disaster can minimize the damage and get your home back to normal.
