Our 5-Step Burst Pipe Water Damage Cleanup Process
Our expert team uses a proven process to minimize damage efficiently and effectively. Here’s how we help Chicago residents restore their homes:
IDENTIFY AND REPAIR THE SOURCE
We shut off the water main and locate the problem using advanced technology for direct repairs. Our technicians handle pipe ruptures and seal leaks. For large breaks or complex replacements, we call in a certified plumber.
FOLLOW UP WITH WATER EXTRACTION
We use heavy-duty extracting equipment to access areas where a water pipe has busted so that we can thoroughly remove standing water. This critical part of the process minimizes mold and bacterial growth in affected materials.
CHECK ALL OTHER PIPES
Often, pipes and plumbing adjacent to the original leak are at risk of failure. We inspect joints, fittings, valves and connections to be sure everything is in good shape.
DRY OUT DAMAGED AREAS
We use special sublimation techniques to eliminate moisture from all hard and soft surfaces and materials. Our industry-proven process completely dries sheetrock, carpets, subflooring, ceilings and furnishings.
RESTORE & RECONSTRUCT YOUR PROPERTY
As licensed contractors, we handle all necessary remediation and reconstruction. We coordinate our project schedule so that our tradespeople are on the scene as needed, and we quickly restore your property to its original condition.

FAQs
How is broken pipe water damage cleanup different from a regular plumber’s services?
After burst pipe or frozen pipe repair, a plumber’s job is done. Water damage restoration professionals follow up with cleaning and restoration services that plumbers simply can’t offer, including cleanup, sanitation and reconstruction.
How much does insurance cover?
Typically, most policies cover 100 percent of water damages excluding your deductible. However, be sure to check coverage details with your agent. We need as much information as possible so that we can help you file your water damage restoration claim.
How much does it cost to clean up water leaks?
Once we inspect the problem, we carefully explain the restoration work involved and provide a cost estimate. Be careful of contractors who quote a price over the phone.
