Pipe bursts in older dormitory buildings
Why it happens here
Buildings near TLU Campus were built decades ago with original plumbing. High water usage during the school year stresses the pipes, and cold snaps in winter can cause them to burst. A single burst pipe can flood multiple units.
Our approach
We keep pipe repair materials on the truck and know where the shutoffs are in these buildings. We isolate the unit, extract water fast, and dry the structure before mold growth starts. We also document everything for insurance claims.
