Broken pipes can wreak havoc on your property. Call today so we can dry your home or business.

Whether you are a homeowner or business owner, a broken pipe can mean the worst, especially with the damage it can wreak on your property. From the water-soaked floors, walls, ceiling, not to mention the damage to your personal property such as furniture and personal keepsakes can be very upsetting. Let’s not forget the loss of production time if a broken water pipe happens in a business or commercial property setting.

Here are some important things to do when you discover a broken pipe in your home or business to lessen the water damage that could occur in your Avondale home.

1. Shut off the water valves right away to stop the water from flowing everywhere. It’s important for you to know where the shut off valves are located whether you’re in a home or business.
2. Practice safety when it comes to water flooding your property. Proceed with caution when electricity is involved and be sure to shut off electricity to the entire property. You can then start moving your furniture and getting your personal items out of standing water.
3. As much as you want to save money and try fixing the plumbing issue yourself, call a plumbing professional to fix the broken pipe. Once it is fixed, the drying and restoration of your home or business can begin. SERVPRO of Avondale/Goodyear/Southwest Phoenix can restore your home back to its previous condition “Like it never even happened.”

When you’re dealing with a broken pipe, give SERVPRO a call right away. Quickly addressing the moisture issue from the water damage can inhibit the possibility of mold growth from occurring. Give SERVPRO of Avondale/Goodyear/Southwest Phoenix a call to learn more.
