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.

A Pflugerville freeze break is a wall problem before it is a plumbing problem, and which wall depends on which way the wind came from. There is nothing on this stretch of prairie to break a hard north wind before it reaches a house, so the north and west elevations run colder than the rest of the building for as long as the front sits on us. What fails is the plumbing living in those walls: the line feeding a kitchen sink set under a window, a laundry box on an outside wall, the stub out to a hose bib, and in the two-story plans a bathroom group stacked on an exterior corner.

Almost none of that water lands where you can see it. A line that splits inside a stud bay drains downward, soaks the insulation on the way, and reaches the bottom plate, and on a slab it then runs flat along the plate looking for a way out. It commonly surfaces two rooms away at a doorway or under a cabinet, hours after the split, so burst pipe water damage in one of these houses is measured by what the walls are holding and not by what reached the floor. Reading them is the first thing we do.

Where we open, and where we leave it closed

The meter and the thermal camera give us the wet edge, and that edge decides every cut. We work the exposed elevation first because that is where the physics points, then read inward until the numbers come back to ordinary. Soaked batt insulation comes out, because a wet batt in an exterior wall never gets its loft back and will hold water against the studs for weeks. Air goes into the cavity itself rather than at the paint, dehumidifiers pull the moisture out of the room, and readings get taken daily against a wall the water never reached. Nothing closes until those two numbers agree.

burst and frozen pipe water damage in Pflugerville, TX

Expect a split on the insurance side. Texas policies generally deal with the damage a sudden burst caused, along with the cost of getting to the break, and treat the repair of the failed section itself as your plumber's invoice. We document the loss and the cause the way an adjuster needs to see it, and your carrier makes the coverage call. Call (512) 271-5099 as soon as the water is off.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

How do you know which wall to open first?

Physics first, then the meter. Lines in the north and west walls of a house on open ground get cold hours before anything on the sheltered side does, so that is where we start reading. From there it is straightforward: a thermal camera shows the cold wet zones inside the assembly, a moisture meter confirms whether the material is actually wet, and the opening follows the readings. We do not open a wall on a hunch, and we do not open one because the floor in front of it was wet.

Does insurance pay to fix the pipe itself?

Usually not the pipe, usually yes the damage. Texas homeowners policies are generally written to cover what a sudden discharge ruined, plus the cost of getting access to the break, while the repair of the failed section is treated as maintenance and lands on your plumber's invoice. We document the loss and the cause, the plumber documents the repair, and your carrier decides what it covers.

Can you dry the wall without cutting the drywall at all?

Sometimes, on a small break caught quickly. Where a cavity is only damp we can dry it through the gap behind the baseboard with directed air and a dehumidifier, and monitor it closed. Where the insulation is soaked, the answer is no. Wet fiberglass holds water against the studs indefinitely, and drying around it just means closing the wall over the thing that is still wet.
