A pipe usually fails inside a wall cavity, which means the visible damage is only a fraction of what's actually happening behind the drywall.
We open the wall cavity carefully, only as far as moisture readings say is necessary, rather than tearing out an entire wall.
Stopping the water source is priority one before any extraction begins.
Pinpointing the break location prevents unnecessary demolition in the wrong section of wall.
Minimizing removal keeps Winterthur, DE repair costs down without leaving wet insulation behind.
We coordinate directly with a licensed plumber for the actual pipe repair once our mitigation work is done.
