Our Team Solves Pipe Bursts, Leaks, and Floods Fast
At Sansara 24/7 Restoration & Remodeling, we respond to all types of water damage throughout Chesterfield. While every job is different, most fall into a few common categories. Below are the top five issues we receive calls about, along with our typical approach to handling each one.
1. Burst Pipes
Burst pipes typically occur during cold snaps when water freezes and expands within the line. We start by shutting off the water supply and draining the system to stop the damage from spreading. Once the water is out, we remove any soaked drywall or insulation, set up drying equipment, and repair or replace the damaged pipe. Mold can develop fast, so time is critical on these jobs.
2. Roof Leaks
Heavy rain or strong winds often reveal roofing problems. When a leak appears, we inspect the roof for visible damage and cover any exposed areas with a tarp if necessary. Inside, we inspect the attic and ceilings for moisture, remove any wet insulation or drywall, and thoroughly dry the structure. After that, we coordinate with roofing professionals for permanent repairs.
3. Basement Flooding
Flooded basements are common in older homes or after severe storms. Causes include failed sump pumps, foundation cracks, or improper drainage. We remove standing water with pumps and extractors, then use dehumidifiers to dry the space. If needed, we install or upgrade sump pump systems and make drainage recommendations to reduce the risk of future flooding.
4. Sewage Backups
Sewer line backups are one of the most dangerous types of water damage due to the bacteria involved. Our crew wears protective suits and respirators, and we seal off the affected area to avoid cross-contamination. We remove contaminated materials, such as carpet and drywall, sanitize all hard surfaces, and deodorize the space to ensure a clean and healthy environment. Air scrubbers are used to filter airborne particles and remove foul odors.
5. Appliance Failures
Slow leaks from washing machines, dishwashers, or refrigerator lines can go unnoticed for days or weeks. Once discovered, we shut off the water, inspect the surrounding materials, and dry any hidden moisture under cabinets or flooring. We also replace any damaged supply lines and repair the affected area before restoring finishes.If you have any kind of water damage in the Chesterfield area, call Sansara 24/7 Restoration & Remodeling at (636) 812-3838.
