Cleanup for Leaking or Burst Pipes

Burst pipes can become a messy issue for many business owners. A ruptured pipe can cause thousands of gallons of water to spill every hour, resulting in substantial water damage.

If you need prompt, reliable burst pipe repair service in your commercial establishment, call the experienced water damage professionals at Unlimited Restoration, Inc. right away. For more than 25 years, we’ve helped businesses recover from all types of disasters and resume regular operations.

What Causes Leaky or Burst Pipes?

Burst pipes often result from water freezing inside them. The frozen water will expand and increase the pipe’s internal pressure. The water will build to the point where it causes the pipes to rupture.

Another potential origin of pipe issues is “water hammer,” which is the movement of unsecured pipes that gradually weakens the joints and allows pressurized water to escape. Corrosion and water pressure issues can also contribute to leaking or bursting.
