A pipe usually fails inside a wall cavity, which means the visible damage is only a fraction of what's actually happening behind the drywall.
We open the wall cavity carefully, only as far as moisture readings say is necessary, rather than tearing out an entire wall.
Our East Machias, ME technicians locate the main or local shutoff valve immediately if it hasn't been closed already.
Pinpointing the break location prevents unnecessary demolition in the wrong section of wall.
Minimizing removal keeps East Machias, ME repair costs down without leaving wet insulation behind.
Our East Machias, ME team works alongside your plumber or one we can refer, so the repair and drying stay coordinated.
