Stopping the water source comes before anything else on a burst pipe call, since running extraction while water is still flowing just means starting over.
We'd rather explain the burst pipe water damage process in plain terms upfront than have you find out the hard way what a shortcut costs later.

None of these standards are unique to us in theory, but they're worth confirming before you let anyone start burst pipe water damage work on your property.
Stopping the source is priority one, since extraction means little if water is still flowing.
Burst pipes under pressure push water further into walls than a slow leak ever would.

The quoted rate covers the full scope once we've assessed how far the water traveled.
We don't treat burst pipe water damage as a single generic task — each part of the process below gets its own specific approach.
We help locate and confirm the shutoff valve if you haven't already stopped the source.
Burst pipe water often pools in unexpected spots due to pressure, so extraction covers a wider area.
