Burst pipes can cause significant damage and should be remedied quickly. Call SERVPRO of Western Dutchess County, we're always here to help!

Water damage claims are among the most common made by homeowners on their insurance—and that includes people who live right here in the Hudson Valley. These claims are even more common in areas like ours. When winter nights get very cold, pipes are more likely to freeze and burst.

How common are bursting pipes? It’s more common than you probably think. Insurance companies estimate that about 1 in 50 homeowners will file a water damage claim this year—that can be for items ranging from burst and frozen pipes to issues with appliances and furnaces.

What To Do If It Happens to You

No one likes to think about waking up to a burst pipe flooding the kitchen or bathroom, but it is a reality for many Americans. If it happens to you, we want to help you get your house back to its original condition.

There are also a few things you can do at home to help minimize the damage:

Turn off the water. This step seems simple, but it makes a big difference. A burst pipe is capable of pumping a lot of water with a lot of force behind it. The sooner you can stop the flooding in your home, the less damage you’ll have to deal with as you begin the restoration process.

Call a reliable plumber. You’ll want to get a plumber to your home as soon as possible. They can correct the problem and get things working correctly again. A plumber will be able to locate your burst pipe and make repairs. Having the cause or the source of the water fixed quickly will allow for a restoration company to begin the extraction, drying out, and clean up process.

Begin the restoration process. Starting early on water damage is the best way to ensure your restoration process runs smoothly and decrease the chances of secondary damages that can be quite costly (and sometimes not covered by your insurance). Give SERVPRO of Western Dutchess County a call as soon as it happens so we can quickly begin the restoration process. We’re available to help you, 24/7and will work directly with your insurance company to take the burden off of your shoulders.
