What To Do When a Pipe Bursts

When a Pipe Bursts, What Do You Do?

Bursting pipes aren't always located out in the open; sometimes, they are situated behind the walls where they are out of sight and hard to recognize. Within minutes, your commercial property could experience a lot of damage because of a broken or leaking pipe behind the walls. Sadly, broken pipes are some of the most common causes of water damage in Galveston Island/Lake Jackson, TX, and in many of these cases, a burst or leaking pipe could go unnoticed until serious damage has occurred.

Take Quick Action
As soon as you notice that your property has suffered water damage, you should take some quick steps to prevent further damage:

  • Turn off the water at the water main.
  • Open one or more faucets to decrease the water pressure in the pipes.
  • Remove water as quickly and thoroughly as you can.
  • Contact professionals to fix the broken pipe and provide further cleanup and repair services.

Your quick actions could mean the difference between containing the damage and experiencing extensive, widespread trouble.

Recognize the Potential for Trouble
There are many pipes throughout your property that could cause a lot of damage. Bursting pipes often happen when plumbing and other systems are installed along the exterior of the home without enough insulation to protect them from freezing. Aging pipes can develop leaks or cracks if they are exposed to pests or unusual amounts of water pressure. If the original installation of the pipes wasn't handled correctly, slow leaks could cause damage for a long time before you notice them.

Get Help Quickly
Once any damage has happened, it's important to contact water damage cleanup and repair professionals to correct the situation. In addition to putting your business back into a safe working condition, the technicians may also help you recognize other areas of weakness and concern. It's definitely better to avoid damage altogether when it's possible to take preventative action.
You may not always recognize water damage when it first occurs, but when you do notice the damage, take quick action. It doesn't take long for bursting pipes and running water to cause a lot of harm.

Understanding the Mold Remediation Process

Steps For Removing Mold From Your Building

If you suspect you have black mold in your building in Galveston Island/Lake Jackson, TX, the best thing you can do to protect your business is remove it. Unfortunately, getting rid of the fungus is not as simple as spraying bleach on it and hoping it goes away. In fact, bleach and other household cleaners are not well-suited to do the job. Mold removal is an involved process that needs serious consideration.
Here are four steps for removing mold from your building.

  1. Call for Help
    It is always recommended to enlist the help of professionals and avoid attempting the mold cleanup process on your own. Professional mold removal services will ensure the job is done properly, eliminating the chance of the fungus growing back and haunting you with future damage.
  2. Contain the Mold
    To keep it from spreading, block off the contaminated area by setting up physical barriers and sealing off doors and windows. In addition to containment, you should cut off any airflow to the affected area.
  3. Remove the Mold
    The method of removal largely depends on the surface the black mold is growing on and the size of the growth. Mold-infested items should be discarded, and infected areas should be treated with antimicrobial and antifungal solutions.
  4. Disinfect the Area
    Once the fungus is removed, disinfect and sanitize the affected area. This process will prevent the infestation from returning and will help remove any odors that developed.
    After the area has been thoroughly cleaned and disinfected, you can begin the mold remediation process to return your business to its pre-mold condition. Depending on the amount of damage, the restoration process may only require minor repairs, such as painting walls or replacing furniture and carpet, or it may be severe enough to require reconstruction of various parts of the building.
    When it comes to removing black mold, you should not waste any time. Removing the fungus quickly and preventing the spread can help you avoid costly repairs. With swift action and thorough remediation, you can recover and get back in business in no time.
