Burst Pipe Water Damage in Paulsboro, NJ
A split supply pipe sends water into walls, ceilings and floors from the inside. Closing the valve is the homeowner's first move, and the crew handles removal and drying next.

A burst pipe releases pressurized water, which is why a small split can soak a wall, a ceiling below and a floor in a short time. The public water side belongs to the borough's Water & Sewer department. Everything after the building's own shutoff is the homeowner's problem, and that is where the crew starts. Quick action saves flooring, insulation and the ceiling below.

Insurance and the burst pipe
A New Jersey insurer says homeowners insurance typically covers water damage caused by a burst pipe. Photos of the split, the wet areas and the repair receipt make the claim easier to document. Keep the damaged section of pipe if the plumber removes it.
The plumbing repair
The crew dries and cleans up but does not repair pipes. A plumber replaces the failed section, promptly after it is found, so drying equipment is not fighting a leak that is still running.

Shut the valve
Close the shutoff, open a low faucet.
Call the crew
Say which rooms are wet.
Extract and open
Water leaves and walls are opened.
Dry and verify
