Supply pipes fail from age, pressure, impact or a bad fitting, in homes of any age, and the water comes fast. In Rosemount as anywhere, the order is the same: stop the flow, extract, then dry what the water reached.
Following the water through the house
- Ceilings that sag or stain below the failure
- Walls where water ran down inside the cavity
- Floors that cup, buckle or feel damp
- Cabinets and trim that wick water upward
Clean water from a supply pipe often allows more materials to be saved, but only when it is removed promptly and the cavity behind is dried.
Ceilings and the room below
When a pipe lets go upstairs, the ceiling below can hold a surprising amount of water before it gives way. A small opening lets that water drain in a controlled way, and the soaked drywall is cut back to dry edges. The room beneath is then extracted and dried so the damage stops at one level.
