FAQs
A pipe burst in my house. What should I do first?
Shut off the main water valve, turn off power to wet areas if it is safe, and call us at 732-539-2942. We answer 24/7 and usually arrive within about an hour.
Why is water dripping from my ceiling after snow?
A common cause is an ice dam: snow melts on the roof, refreezes at the edge, and the trapped water backs up under the shingles and leaks inside.
Will my insurance cover a burst pipe?
Many policies cover sudden pipe bursts. We bill insurance directly and document the damage for your claim; your insurer decides coverage.
Can water from a frozen pipe cause mold?
Yes. Wet drywall and insulation that are not dried quickly can grow mold, which is why fast drying matters.
How do you find water hidden inside walls and ceilings?
We use thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters to locate wet areas without tearing out more than necessary.
