Broken Water Pipe causes Water Damage in Condo in Lincoln City, Oregon
Have you ever come home and there was water all over the floors? It could be from a broken water pipe that is causing a leak. Sometimes, a compromised water pipe can show warning signs before serious water damage occurs. Common symptoms of a broken pipe include puddles forming under your sinks, pipes making noises behind the walls, discolored rusty water with a strange smell or fluctuating water pressure. If you notice signs of a compromised water pipe you should take action quickly to mitigate the water damage that is done. Try to turn off the water and locate the broken pipe. The next step is to get a plumber to fix or replace the compromised water pipes. Once water damage occurs, you have about 12-36 hours until microbial growth begins to grow on the affected areas. This is why it’s crucial to call a professional water restoration and mold remediation company like Disaster Master to help remove the water and dry out the home to prevent any structural damage.
