Burst Pipe Cleanup
Stop the Spread. Start the Repair.

Burst pipe cleanup is the process of stopping the water source, extracting standing water, drying the structure, and repairing damage caused by a ruptured or failed plumbing line. A single burst pipe can release hundreds of gallons of water per hour, which means damage can spread through walls, ceilings, and flooring in a very short time.

Pipes burst for several reasons. Freezing temperatures cause water inside the pipe to expand until the pipe cracks or splits. Aging pipes corrode and weaken over time. High water pressure, shifting foundations, and poor installation can also lead to sudden failures. Burst pipes often happen behind walls or above ceilings, which means the damage can be extensive before the homeowner even notices.

Five Star Restoration responds to burst pipe emergencies around the clock. Once the water supply is shut off, our teams begin extraction immediately using commercial pumps and vacuums. We use thermal imaging and moisture meters to map the full extent of water migration, including behind walls and under flooring. From there we set up industrial drying equipment, remove materials that are beyond repair, and apply antimicrobial treatments to prevent secondary damage. All burst pipe restoration work follows IICRC standards.
