A burst pipe under pressure can push water sideways through a wall cavity and into a room you'd never suspect, which is why our assessment always checks adjoining spaces, not just the room where the damage is visible.
None of this is unique to a big loss either — the same standard applies whether it's a single-room burst pipe water damage call or a larger one.
We built this list around what typically goes wrong when burst pipe water damage gets handled by a generalist rather than a specialist.
None of these standards are unique to us in theory, but they're worth confirming before you let anyone start burst pipe water damage work on your property.
