A burst pipe floods fast. Every minute counts.
A failed supply line can put hundreds of gallons into your home in an hour — much of it hidden inside walls and under floors. We stop it, find all of it, and dry it to a measured standard.
The water you can see isn't the problem.
A ½-inch supply line under pressure can release hundreds of gallons an hour — and because the break is usually behind drywall or under a floor, most of that water travels through wall cavities and joist bays you never see. By the time it shows on a ceiling downstairs, it has already soaked framing, insulation, and subfloor.
Frozen pipes add a second trap: the burst often happens on the thaw, not the freeze, so the flooding can start hours after you thought the danger passed. We use thermal imaging and moisture meters to map every path the water took — not just the puddle on the floor.
What a hidden pipe leak looks like before it's obvious.
A slow supply-line leak can run for days before it floods. If you see any of these, call — catching it early is the difference between a dry-out and a demolition.
A spike in your water bill
A supply line leaking inside a wall shows up on the meter long before it shows on the ceiling.
Warm or cold spots on a wall
Water moving behind drywall changes the surface temperature — often the first physical sign.
Staining, bubbling, or a musty smell
Discolored drywall, bubbling paint, or a persistent damp odor means moisture is already in the structure.
A meter that moves with everything off
Shut off every fixture and watch the water meter. If it's still creeping, you have a hidden leak.
Stop it, find it, dry it, rebuild it.
Our own crews handle emergency mitigation start to finish. For rebuilds, we manage every trade under one accountable team. Burst-pipe restoration stays on one managed schedule from shutoff through rebuild.
We stop the water
First through the door, we locate and shut off the supply. Can't find your main shutoff while it's still spraying? That's normal — it's our job, not yours.
We trace where it went
Thermal imaging and moisture meters find the water hiding inside walls, under floors, and in the ceiling below — so nothing gets closed up wet.
We extract and dry to a number
Work performed to IICRC S500 standards. Pumps and air movers pull standing water fast; commercial dehumidifiers dry the structure, tracked on a daily moisture log so “dry” is proven, not guessed.
We treat and rebuild
Antimicrobial goes on every affected surface, including framing behind drywall; then TRC manages drywall, flooring, and paint on the same schedule.
Burst-pipe questions, honestly answered.
Coverage depends on the cause and policy; a sudden pipe failure and a known leak may be treated differently. We document losses and coordinate with insurance carriers. We bill your insurance directly.
Immediately. A burst supply line adds hundreds of gallons an hour, and clean water starts turning structural within about 48 hours — drywall wicking, subfloors swelling, mold beginning. Shut off your water if you safely can, then call us. We keep a drying fleet staged in Limerick so the truck is already loaded.
Often, yes — if drying starts early. Hardwood can be dried in place before it cups permanently, and drywall that's dried quickly may not need replacing. The longer the water sits, the lower the odds, which is exactly why the first call matters.
Ice expands and puts the whole line under pressure; the actual rupture often lets go when it thaws and water starts flowing again. That means the flood can begin hours after the freeze — so a pipe that froze overnight is worth having checked even if nothing has leaked yet.
Then it's traveled through the structure, and there's hidden moisture along the whole path. We map it with thermal imaging, dry every affected cavity, and check the ceiling and insulation below — a repainted stain over a wet cavity is how mold starts quietly.
