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.
Insulation and drywall removal is targeted, and we coordinate directly with a licensed plumber for the actual pipe repair.
Our Marion, 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.
We open wall cavities in a controlled, targeted way based on documented moisture data.
Handoff to a licensed plumber is built into our burst pipe process, not left for you to arrange separately.
