Tips for Dealing With Broken Pipes in Your Denville Home
Darric Mitchell • Dec 10, 2019
As a homeowner, you’re bound to face the occasional plumbing mishap. No one expects a broken pipe
in their Denville home, however. The resulting damage can be extensive. Before long — within 48 hours — you’ve got mold on your hands. It’s just a complete mess.
The good news is, you’re not alone in dealing with a burst pipe. No matter the day of the week or time of year, Restoration 1 of Morris County
is available. We offer 24-hour water damage restoration and burst pipe repair.
Steps to Take After a Burst Pipe in Your Denville Home
The last thing you expect or want to tackle in your home is a burst pipe. Your first step in dealing with such a mess is to call a local restoration company. You need to deal with the water fast. While you wait, there are a few steps you can take.
Of course, these steps are only for clean water damage. Do not mess around with contaminated water of any kind. You risk your health more so than your home.
- Shut Off the Water — As a homeowner, you should know where the main water shutoff valve is located. In the event of a burst pipe, use it. Turn off the water fast.
- Open a Faucet — You need to relieve some of the pressure in the line to prevent a continuous leak from the burst pipe. To do that, go to the nearest faucet to the broken pipe and open the faucet. Even a drip will help.
- Water Removal — Using a mop and bucket or bunch of old towels, start to clean up some of the standing water before it soaks into your floor, walls or furniture.
- Drying Process — You can begin drying while you wait by turning on an overhead fan and cranking the air conditioning system. Of course, neither of these should be on if you’re dealing with a sewage backup.
When Not to Handle Water Damage Cleanup
First, it’s important to understand that hiring a restoration technician for water damage cleanup is the ideal route to take. You never know the true extent of the damage. Second, there’s always the risk that your minor water leak escalates into a contamination mess.
In the event of a burst pipe, call a local restoration company. If you suspect any sort of contamination, leave the area immediately. A sewage backup, for example, which is considered black water damage, is dangerous to your respiratory health. There are all manner of bacteria, viruses, and parasites in sewage water and waste. If you were to ingest or inhale even a droplet, you may face a severe illness in the coming days. Call an expert.
