Florida Water Extraction

Coming home to a pipeburst, can be one of the most exasperating experiences ever.  That “what do I do now” feeling can be overwhelming.  So what causes this horrific nightmare?

Well, up North, freezing temperatures are the culprit causing water to expand as it freezes.  When the frozen water expands, this places substantial pressure on the inner walls of the pipe regardless of the pipe material….iron, lead, or pvc.

In South Florida, a common cause is tree roots believe it or not.   Roots become entangled to underground pipes, strangling them until they burst.  Other causes are blockage, simple wear and tear or accidental drilling.  When a pipe bursts in Florida you should call a South Florida licensed plumber at 866 347 5535 to help fix the situation, and then start planning the restoration.

This is why every homeowner should have a preliminary plan in place just in case.  This plan includes then number to a certified Plumber, a reputed Water Extraction Company and a certified & bonded Public Insurance Adjuster.  A homeowner must also have an updated insurance policy on hand for coverage verification.  A Public Adjuster understands policy terms, coverages, and the rights of a policyholder.  Even if  a policy is denied a Public Adjuster has the ability to reopen a claim and obtain a favorable decision and a just settlement.
