The number one cause of bursting pipes is freezing winter weather. 

When pipes burst you can be sure that your floors, or your walls, and/or your belongings will suffer damage—although the damage will of course vary depending on the location of the leak, and its severity. And if you want to minimize that damage, it is absolutely crucial that you immediately seek professional assistance. That is what the plumbing technicians of Terre Haute Plumbing Services are here for: they are here to provide you with immediate professional assistance. They are here to help you minimize any and all water damage in the event that one of your pipes bursts.

The instant we receive your call the Terre Haute Plumbing Services emergency response team will spring into action. 

The team will immediately start out for your home or workplace, and while they are enroute to you one of our staff members will stay on the phone with you to give you some important advice and assistance in dealing with your problem. He may, for example, advise you to close the cocks on your main water valves. And if the burst pipe is anywhere near any of your major electrical devices, he may also suggest that you turn off all power to your premises. 

After our emergency response team has finished repairing the damage to your pipe, they will also help you in preventing and/or in cleaning up water damage. 

Most plumbing companies will leave it to their customers to clean up any water damage they might suffer, but the Terre Haute Plumbing Services professionals do not do that. Our highly trained technicians have both the expertise and the equipment necessary to, first, determine what water damage has occurred and, second, to clear all the water out of your home or workplace and clean up the damage. This is very important, because if water damage is not treated properly, it is possible that within only one or two days mold spores can start to arise. Our technicians will closely inspect your floors and your carpets to ascertain whether a simple water extractor combined with a dehumidifier will be enough to remove the water and repair the damage, or whether more complex and specialized kinds of equipment will be necessary.

Before they depart from your home or workplace, the Terre Haute Plumbing Services technicians will offer you important advice and guidance to help ensure that in the future your pipes do not burst again. 

They may, for example, tell you that it is generally a wise decision to try to keep your home as warm as you possibly can during the cold months of winter. They may also tell you that should you have pipes that pass through cabinets close to a wall facing the outside, you would be smart to arrange for the cabinet doors to be kept open so that those pipes can be reached with warmer inside air.
