Our Process

Getting water out of your residence depends on the source of spillage which is why sources such as flooding require specialized tools for the job. Different services have specialized extractors that drain water from your home to tanks mounted on their vans.

Specialized water meters are used to establish just how much water is in the house and to figure out the source. Assuming that the source was a burst pipe, the likely source will be the area that is wettest. Some services have fans that are strategically placed around the house to dry the damp areas.

Insurance Claims

Homeowners are advised to take insurance cover against pipe bursts and the ensuing damage that occur in most homes. The most important thing is to understanding the coverage and the specific policy by insurance agents. There are certain policies that require homeowners to maintain specific temperature within their home so as to reduce cases of pipe bursts. Most pipe bursts occur as a result of freezing temperatures. During such time, water inside the pipes freeze and eventually expands causing the pipe to bursts. If you are not inside the house to notice such bursts, serious damage can occur in your house. Failure to maintain such temperature can lead to your claim being denied by the insurer.
