Burst Pipe Emergency: Quick Response and Water Damage Mitigation
When pipes burst due to freezing or some other reason, the damage that results can be extensive. Water spills onto floors and seeps into carpets and subfloors; it penetrates walls, furniture, and other items in the area; and can even come through ceilings. Full extraction of the water and drying of the area is necessary if you are to avoid longer-term problems such as structural damage or an infestation from mold and mildew.
If you are experiencing a burst pipe, call the experts at Belmont Clean + Restoration right away. We are water damage restoration experts covering the entire Roaring Fork Valley region in Colorado. And,because we understand water damage problems can occur anytime—day or night—we are available to take your emergency call 24/7.
What Causes a Pipe to Burst?
Pipes in your plumbing system can break down for several reasons – the age of the pipes, how well they were installed, or if some other failure or event occurs to damage the pipe or cause a buildup of water pressure that results in the eventual bursting of the pipe.
What Happens When Pipes Freeze?
Most people believe it is the pipe that freezes and bursts, while it is the water pressure inside the pipe that causes the rupture. Cold weather and improper or insufficient insulation can cause the water inside pipes to freeze, especially if the pipes have not been winterized, they run along an outside wall, or there is little to no heat in the area. Even a crack in the building foundation or along roof lines can allow cold air to flow through and reach nearby pipes. Prolonged exposure to an outside temperature of just 20˚ Fahrenheit is enough to freeze the water inside pipes. And, when water freezes in one location, pressure builds up down the line from water that is unable to flow freely through the pipe, and causes the pipe to burst.
How does Belmont Clean + Restoration help?
We understand that you may be overwhelmed by the circumstances, and uncertain where to start.

- Remove all standing water to our truck using powerful water extraction equipment and submersible pumps.
- Remove and dispose of items that have been destroyed by the water damage and properly dry, clean, and treat all other furnishings and structural items to the best of our ability.
