About PEX Pipe Burst Team

PEX Pipe Burst Team is about one kind of emergency: PEX tubing that splits, or a PEX fitting that lets go, and the water that follows. A freeze split in an attic run, a crimp ring that never sealed and a screw through a hidden run all start the same way, with water escaping where nobody is looking.

Local restoration companies keep 24/7 dispatch running for these losses, because PEX is flexible tubing that travels in long runs and carries water far from the break. The extraction crew pumps out the standing water first. Then the technician who does the walkthrough follows the tubing path with a thermal camera and moisture meters.

The method follows IICRC S500, the industry drying standard. Crews size LGR dehumidifiers and air movers to each room's class of loss, add cavity drying where walls and ceilings stay shut, and leave everything running until the mapped spots read dry next to a reference material.

The water itself decides some of the work. A burst supply run starts as Category 1 clean water, but water that sat for days or soaked dirty materials moves toward Category 2, and the mitigation team removes porous materials it reached. The plumber repairs the pipe, and the restoration crew handles everything the water touched.

Documentation runs alongside the work. The crew keeps dated photos from before any cut, the moisture map, daily drying logs and an itemized scope, so the insurer can follow the loss from the first pump to the final reading. Call PEX Pipe Burst Team at (888) 527-9860 any time of day or night.
