A supply line lets go — and it’s gallons per minute

Unlike slow leaks, burst pipes dump clean water fast, which means fast action saves most of the structure.

What the crew does

1. Locate & stop the source
2. Extract standing water
3. Open & dry the cavity — wet insulation is removed, walls dried with proper airflow
4. Document for the claim — this is a textbook covered loss

Why it’s usually covered

Sudden and accidental pipe failure is the classic covered event in homeowners policies. Photos and crew documentation make the claim smooth.
