A burst pipe usually produces a sudden, active flow, often with a wall or ceiling stain appearing quickly.
Only the compromised section comes out, not the full wall.
Pipe repair is handled by a licensed plumber we coordinate with, while we manage extraction and drying.
If you can safely reach it, shut off the water at the main or local valve to stop the flow.
Wall cavity drying typically takes 3-5 days depending on how much insulation and framing was affected.
