What To Do Right Now If You Have a Burst Pipe

When you first see water pouring from a ceiling, wall, or under a sink, it can feel overwhelming. Taking a few focused steps can improve safety and help reduce the damage before our team arrives. Only do what you can safely manage and avoid any action that puts you at risk.

First Steps To Improve Safety

If you can reach it safely, turn off the main water supply to your property. This is often located near the street, in a utility closet, or in a basement or crawl space. Shutting off the water can slow or stop the flow and keep additional areas from becoming saturated. If breakers are accessible and it is safe to approach, you may also turn off electricity to affected rooms to reduce the risk of electrical hazards around standing water.

Protecting Belongings & Documenting Damage

After addressing water and power, move light furniture, area rugs, and valuables away from wet areas if you can do so quickly and safely. Avoid walking under bulging ceilings or near heavy items that may have been weakened by water. Take photos or short videos of the damage, including the source of the leak, floors, walls, and belongings, since this documentation is often helpful when you speak with your insurance company.

Calling for Professional Help

As soon as you have taken these first steps, call ServiceMaster Restoration Services - Benicia. When you contact us, you reach a team that is available 24 hours a day, every day of the year. We can talk you through anything else you should or should not do before we arrive, and we prepare our technicians with the equipment and information they need to begin work as soon as they get to your property in Vacaville.

Our Burst Pipe Cleanup & Restoration Process

Once our team is on site, many property owners feel a sense of relief because they finally have a clear plan. We follow a structured process for burst pipe damage that is designed to remove water, dry materials, and address related issues as thoroughly as possible. Our technicians explain what they are doing and why, so you are never left wondering what comes next.

Inspection & Damage Assessment

We start with a detailed inspection of the affected areas. This can include checking ceilings, walls, floors, and cavities with moisture meters and other tools to understand how far the water has traveled. We look for visible damage as well as hidden pockets of moisture that may not be clear to the eye. This assessment helps us create a practical plan for water removal, drying, and any necessary material removal.

Water Extraction & Property Protection

After the inspection, we focus on water extraction. Using professional grade pumps and vacuums, we remove standing water from hard surfaces and saturated carpets as quickly as conditions allow. The goal is to stop water from continuing to soak into building materials and belongings. Items that can be protected, such as furniture or equipment, may be blocked up or moved to drier areas to reduce further exposure.

Drying, Dehumidification & Cleaning

With standing water removed, we set up drying and dehumidification equipment that is appropriate for the size and layout of your property. Air movers and dehumidifiers work together to pull moisture from surfaces and the air. Our technicians monitor moisture levels regularly and make adjustments to equipment placement or settings based on readings. This careful monitoring helps avoid problems that can arise when materials appear dry on the surface but still hold moisture inside.

Cleaning and sanitizing are also important parts of our process. Depending on the source of the burst pipe, water can range from relatively clean to contaminated, especially if it has picked up debris or passed through other materials. We clean and treat affected surfaces to help reduce odors and address potential contaminants. If the damage involves areas like crawl spaces or lower levels where sewage backups may mix with water, our broader services include sewage cleanup and related sanitation tasks.

Addressing Secondary Issues

As we work through these steps, we also consider the risk of mold growth, lingering odors, and damage to structural elements. If we identify conditions that support mold, our team can connect you with our mold remediation services that are designed for this type of situation. Throughout the process, we coordinate with you on what materials may need removal and what can reasonably be dried in place, and we support you with documentation that you can use when you talk with your insurance representative.

Why Property Owners Call Us For Burst Pipe Damage

When water is spreading through a home or business, choosing a restoration company is not just about who can show up first. Property owners want to know that the team entering their space is experienced, prepared, and focused on their well being. At ServiceMaster Restoration Services - Benicia, we work to bring those qualities to every burst pipe call we receive.

We are available 24 hours a day and every day of the year, which means you can reach us whenever a pipe fails, not only during business hours. This constant availability is important because burst pipes rarely wait for a convenient time. When you call, our goal is to respond promptly, help limit the damage, and begin the path toward restoring your property.

Our brand has more than 65 years of disaster restoration experience, and that history informs how we approach water damage from burst pipes. Over time, restoration techniques and equipment have evolved, and we work to use advanced technology and proven methods instead of temporary, surface level fixes. Our technicians are highly trained and certified in their field, which helps them make sound decisions about drying strategies, equipment use, and safety in different building types.

Just as important as our technical skills is how we treat the people we serve. We recognize that coping with a burst pipe can be upsetting and disruptive, whether it happens in a family home or a busy workplace. Our team aims to communicate clearly, answer questions, and provide updates so you are not left guessing about progress. We also have quality assurance practices and follow up in place, so we can review the work and address concerns as the property moves from crisis toward recovery.

Burst Pipes, Water Damage, & Risks to Your Property

Understanding what water can do to a building helps explain why professional restoration matters after a burst pipe. Water follows gravity and the path of least resistance, running under baseboards, down wall cavities, and across subfloors. What looks like a small wet area on the surface can sometimes hide a wider spread of moisture behind finishes and inside structural components.

How Water Affects Building Materials

Drywall and insulation can absorb water readily, and if these materials stay wet, they may swell, sag, or lose their integrity. Wood framing and subfloors can begin to warp or weaken when exposed to moisture over time. Flooring materials such as hardwood, laminate, and some types of tile can lift, buckle, or separate from their substrates if water remains trapped beneath them. In multi level buildings, water from an upper floor leak can flow down into ceilings below, leading to staining or even collapse if the weight of trapped water becomes too great.

Mold Growth & Indoor Air Quality

Mold is another significant concern with burst pipe damage. When materials remain damp, mold spores that are already present in indoor environments can find the moisture they need to grow. This can affect indoor air quality and create visible growth on surfaces. While the timeframe for mold growth can vary based on temperature, humidity, and material type, removing water and reducing moisture as early as possible helps limit favorable conditions.

How We Help Reduce Long-Term Risks

Our team uses moisture meters and other tools to locate hidden damp areas that might otherwise be missed during a quick, surface level cleanup. By focusing on both visible damage and concealed moisture, we work to reduce the risks of ongoing structural problems and future mold issues linked to the burst pipe event. When we identify areas of concern, we talk with you about the options for drying, repair, or additional services so you can make informed decisions about your property.

Serving Homes & Businesses in Vacaville and the Surrounding Area

Burst pipes affect a wide range of properties in and around Vacaville. Some are single family homes with supply lines in attics or crawl spaces, while others are offices, retail spaces, or other commercial buildings with more complex plumbing systems. No matter the type of property, water on floors, in walls, or above ceilings can interrupt daily life and operations.

In this part of California, temperature changes, aging plumbing, and pressure fluctuations can all contribute to pipe failures. For example, supply lines in exterior walls or unconditioned spaces may be more vulnerable during colder nights, and older pipes may be more likely to crack or break without much warning. Our familiarity with local building styles and common layouts helps our team quickly identify likely water paths and hidden moisture areas in properties throughout the area.

We understand that each property has its own priorities. For a homeowner, that may mean protecting family living spaces and personal belongings and being able to stay in the home if possible during drying. For a business, it often includes keeping key areas accessible, minimizing downtime, and coordinating cleanup work around staff and customer needs. Our technicians talk through your specific situation and adjust our restoration plan to support your priorities while still following sound restoration practices.

Because we work locally, we can also factor in access routes, parking, and building restrictions that are common in this region. This practical knowledge helps us plan equipment placement and daily visits more efficiently, which can be especially important for commercial sites or multi unit properties in and around Vacaville.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can your team get here after my pipe bursts?

We respond to burst pipe emergencies at any time of day, and our goal is to get a team to your property as quickly as conditions allow. Actual arrival times can depend on factors such as the time of your call, weather, traffic, and how many emergencies are already in progress. When you call ServiceMaster Restoration Services - Benicia, we let you know what to expect and keep you updated if conditions change. Our focus is on dispatching a crew promptly with the equipment required for your situation so we can begin limiting water damage as soon as we arrive.

Should I call my insurance company before I call you?

You do not have to wait to call your insurance company before contacting us. Many property owners prefer to call ServiceMaster Restoration Services - Benicia first so we can help stop the water, begin mitigation, and document the damage. Once emergency work is underway and the immediate risk is under control, you can then contact your insurance representative to report the loss. We can provide information about what we have found, what actions we have taken, and the general scope of damage, which you may find helpful during your discussions with your insurer.

Will you be able to save my floors, walls, and furniture?

In many cases, we can dry and restore building materials and contents affected by a burst pipe, but the outcome depends on several factors. These include how long the water has been present, the type of materials involved, the amount of saturation, and whether there are contaminants in the water. Our technicians assess each area and item to determine what can reasonably be dried in place and what may require removal or replacement. We explain our recommendations to you, and our goal is always to salvage as much as we can while still protecting safety and long term property condition.

Do I need to be at the property while you work?

We usually ask that someone with decision making authority be present during the initial assessment so we can discuss findings, answer questions, and obtain any necessary approvals to begin work. After that, you do not always need to be on site for every visit, as long as we have safe access to the property and a reliable way to communicate with you. We coordinate schedules, share updates, and let you know about key milestones such as equipment adjustments or material removals. Our aim is to respect your time while keeping you informed about the progress of the burst pipe cleanup and drying.

Can your team handle mold if it has already started to grow?

Yes, if mold has begun to develop as a result of the burst pipe, we can address it through our mold remediation services. During our inspection and ongoing monitoring, we look for signs of visible growth or conditions that are favorable for mold. When we identify these concerns, we talk with you about a plan that typically includes moisture control, removal of affected materials when appropriate, and cleaning of impacted areas. Handling water damage and mold issues together helps create a more complete solution for your property.

What should I move or unplug before you arrive?

If you can safely reach items in the affected area, start by unplugging electronics from dry outlets and moving them away from wet floors or surfaces. You can also move light furniture, area rugs, and personal belongings out of the path of water and onto dry, stable areas. Avoid handling heavy items or anything near standing water and electrical sources, and do not step under sagging ceilings. If you are unsure about what is safe to move, you can wait for our technicians to arrive, and we will help decide what to relocate and how best to protect your belongings.

How long does burst pipe cleanup and drying usually take?

The time needed for cleanup and drying after a burst pipe can vary. Smaller, contained leaks in easily accessible areas may take a few days to dry, while larger or more complex losses that involve multiple rooms, levels, or building materials can take longer. Factors such as the volume of water, how long it has been present, the types of materials affected, and temperature and humidity all influence the timeline. We use moisture readings to guide decisions about how long equipment should run and when areas are ready for the next steps. Early in the process, our team can give you a general range for your specific situation and update you as work progresses.
