2/21/2022 (Permalink)

You can experience serious flooding if a pipe bursts in your North Nashville business. Such an occurrence can be caused by frozen water lines, or it can just be due to faulty pipes or fittings. Whatever the case may be, you will be left with the aftermath. Let’s talk about what you will need to do to handle a pipe bursting at your business location. 

What Are The First Steps I Need To Take To Manage A Burst Waterline? 

• Shut off the water. If you have control of the water supply, it should be shut off immediately. You may need to contact the property owner or landlord to do this for you. Shutting off the water at the main valve will help you prevent further water damage. 
• Call a plumber. Repairing the burst pipe will take the skills of a professional plumber, so you will want to contact one as soon as you can. 
• Assess the damage, and if needed, call the water damage restoration professionals. If there appears to be a lot of water damage, you can call the water damage restoration professionals like SERVPRO of North Nashville.
