How Burst Pipe Flood Cleanup Works in Wheaton

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Water left in drywall can keep a wall cavity damp. Removing unsalvageable sections gives remaining framing a better path to dry. Air movement reaches exposed framing more effectively.
- Close the main water valve if safe.
- Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
- Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
- Photograph wet rooms and belongings.

Cabinet bases and flooring seams can hold water from older sink connections. Drying requires access to those spaces. Wet flooring can extend beyond the cabinet footprint.
