Don’t let a small drip become a big disaster; call our water damage restoration experts in Ogden, Layton, Salt Lake and Sandy today!

How to Handle a Broken Water Line

• Stop the flow of water. Start by finding the main water shut off  valve on that particular pipe (if not on pipe, check in the kitchen and bathrooms for those pipes).
• As a safety precaution, we recommend turning off power to the section of the home where water damage has occurred. Water moves quickly and it can get into the electrical system in a matter of seconds.
• Once you have shut off the water, call our office immediately so we can respond within the hour and give you a free damage assessment.

We work quickly with as little disruption to your life as possible. It is important when dealing with water damage to remember you are up against a time clock. Speed is of the essence to limit the damage.

Dealing with Insurance Companies

Rockwell Disaster Cleanup works with all insurance companies. Photographic evidence of the damage is accumulated and we negotiate on your behalf to ensure you are given the right coverage needed to pay for the broken water line damage. Like any accident, having the right documentation is essential to settling your claim.

Handling Items After Water Damage

What can you keep and what should you throw away after flooding? Carpeting, rugs, tile, drywall and furniture damage can be serious  and may not be salvageable. Fortunately books, photos and files can often be dried out and saved.  Contact a plumber to repair the broken pipe if you are not able to replace it properly. Contact our water restoration professionals for a free estimate of your water damage problems. Rockwell also offers industrial fans to start the process of drying carpeting, rugs, tile, and drywall damage, which can take several hours to start the cleanup and drying process.
