Our Brighton, IL 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.
Our Brighton, IL crews trace pressure loss to identify the failure point before opening drywall.
Drywall and insulation come out only where moisture readings confirm saturation, not the entire wall.
