How it works

Our restoration process

Four steps, starting the moment you call.

1

Call & Dispatch

Tell us what happened. A local crew is dispatched on the call, and how fast we reach you depends on traffic and where you are.

2

Extract & Stabilize

We stop the source, pump out standing water, and set drying equipment.

3

Dry & Monitor

Air movers and dehumidifiers run while we track moisture daily to dry standard.

4

Repair & Reinstall

Drywall, texture, trim, and paint go back so the room reads finished.

Insurance-savvy from the first call

Documented to claim standard from the first hour

We document the loss to claim standard from the moment we arrive — photos, moisture readings by room, and a scope that maps to your policy. Then we bill your insurer directly for the covered work.

PEX handles a freeze better than copper, which is exactly why a burst catches people in a new house off guard. The tubing can expand a little when the water inside it turns to ice. The brass and poly fittings crimped onto the ends cannot, and neither can the valves. So a multi-day freeze here tends to break the system at its joints, and the attic runs and the hose bibs are where the ice forms first. The break commonly holds until the thaw and then opens while everyone assumes the worst is behind them.

A fitting that opens in an attic drops water onto the ceiling below and into the top plates of the walls under it, and from there it runs down inside the cavity. That is why burst pipe water damage from a freeze so rarely stays in one room. If your house has a home run manifold, and a lot of the newer builds here do, say so when you call, because that is what lets a plumber isolate one fixture line instead of leaving the whole house dry.

What burst pipe cleanup looks like once the water is off

We start at the top and follow the water down. Thermal imaging and meters give us the path through the ceiling, the top plates, and the wall cavities, and access cuts go where those readings are. Soaked blown insulation comes out of the attic around the break, wet batts come out of the walls, and air goes into the cavities with dehumidifiers pulling moisture out of the room instead of leaving it to settle on the next cold surface. Readings come daily until the framing matches dry material elsewhere in the house.

burst and frozen pipe water damage in Leander, TX

A plumber repairs the fitting and we handle everything the water touched, and we coordinate the two so a wall gets opened once instead of twice. The loss is documented with dated photos and readings, and the coverage decision sits with your insurer. Call (512) 271-5099.

Frequently asked questions

Should I turn the heat up to dry the house out?

Warmth helps a little, but on its own it moves the problem rather than solving it. Heating wet material pushes moisture into the room air, and with nothing removing it that air just deposits it on the next cool surface, often inside another wall. Heat is useful alongside a dehumidifier that is taking the water out of the air and out of the house. By itself it mostly relocates it.

The break was at one fitting. Does that mean the whole house needs repiping?

Almost never, and that question belongs to a plumber rather than to us. One fitting failing in a freeze says the ice found the coldest point in the system, not that the system is bad. A plumber will normally repair the failed connection and check the runs sharing that exposure. Our side is what the water did: what it soaked, how far it traveled, and what has to come out and dry before anything is closed back up.

The break was in the attic. How do you dry a ceiling from above?

By clearing the insulation off the wet area and getting air onto the topside of the drywall, which is the fast way to dry a ceiling that has not lost its bond. It also lets us leave the finished side alone in a lot of cases. Where the board has gone soft or the readings will not fall, part of the ceiling comes out, but we would rather find that out from a meter than from a piece of drywall landing on the floor.

Can we turn the water back on before the drying is finished?

Once the plumber has repaired or isolated the failed line, yes. Drying does not depend on the plumbing being off, only on the leak being dead. What we ask is that nobody uses the fixtures on the affected line until the repair is verified, and that the equipment stays running and stays plugged in, since a dehumidifier switched off overnight costs a full day of progress.
