A burst pipe under pressure can push water sideways through a wall cavity and into a room you'd never suspect, which is why our assessment always checks adjoining spaces, not just the room where the damage is visible.
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.

We check adjoining rooms and lower floors, since pressurized water travels further than a slow leak.
