Broken Pipe - Vacation Water Damage

7/13/2018 (Permalink)

A broken pipe on the 2nd floor caused this massive water damage in the kitchen.

The amount of untold damage that a broken pipe can do is breath taking and that can be if you are there when it happens. How much initial damage and secondary damage will occur if you aren't there? What will happen and how long will it go on if you are gone on a summer Vacation or out of town over the weekend?

Turning your water off before you leave for vacation or the weekend can seem like such a small and unlikely preparation and yet that act alone can be the difference between avoiding disaster entirely or thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars in damage to your home or business.

Unfortunately very few business and home owners actually take the time to learn where their emergency shut offs are, and only when the barbarians are at the gate does it become a necessity. 

Take the time to educate yourself where these shut offs are and don't forget to shut the water off before you leave for prolonged periods of time. Should disaster strike, call The Professionals... Call SERVPRO of Matteson-Homewood.
