A burst pipe can go from minor inconvenience to major disaster in a matter of minutes. Water floods into your walls, flooring, and ceilings—damaging everything in its path. At HallMark Restorations Fort Lauderdale, we specialize in fast, expert response to water damage emergencies caused by burst pipes. Whether it’s a late-night leak or a full-blown flood, knowing what to do next can make all the difference.
Here’s your step-by-step guide to minimizing damage and speeding up recovery:
🚨 1. Shut Off the Main Water Supply
Time is critical. Locate and turn off your home’s main water valve to stop the flow. This prevents further flooding and gives you a chance to assess the situation safely.
⚠️ 2. Turn Off Electricity Where Water Is Present
If the leak reaches any electrical outlets, flip the breakers off in that zone. Water and electricity are a dangerous mix—safety should always be your first priority.
📸 3. Document the Damage for Insurance
Use your phone to take photos and videos of the damage. Include soaked drywall, ceilings, personal items, and standing water. This documentation is crucial when filing an insurance claim.
📞 4. Call a Water Damage Restoration Company Immediately
That’s where we come in. At HallMark Restorations Fort Lauderdale, our IICRC-certified team is available 24/7 to begin water extraction, drying, and restoration. We use commercial-grade drying equipment to stop damage in its tracks.
🧰 5. Begin Drying Immediately
Mold can begin to form within 24–48 hours. Our team uses dehumidifiers, air movers, and thermal imaging to ensure all moisture is removed—not just what’s visible on the surface.
🦠 6. Prevent Mold with Proper Remediation
We perform detailed inspections to locate any hidden water. If mold is already forming, we use EPA-approved remediation techniques to eliminate spores and restore clean air quality.
🔨 7. Repair and Rebuild
Once dry, we handle full reconstruction—from drywall replacement to flooring and insulation—bringing your home back to pre-loss condition quickly and professionally.
