By the time you see a stain or hear dripping, a burst pipe has often already been running for a while inside the wall.
Our La Salle, MN Burst Pipe Water Damage crews start with locating the shutoff valve and confirming water pressure has actually stopped.
Stopping the water source is priority one before any extraction begins.
Pinpointing the break location prevents unnecessary demolition in the wrong section of wall.
