Water extraction after a burst pipe in a Vancouver home

Request burst pipe help

We call you back. If water is still running, call now.

Why the first hours matter

Pressurized water keeps running until the valve is off, and it travels inside walls and ceilings

Shut off, then extract

We walk you to the main valve on the phone, then pull standing water the same visit.

Find the hidden water

Moisture meters and thermal imaging show where water went inside walls and under floors.

Open only what is wet

Targeted cuts instead of gutting the room, so the rebuild is smaller.

Rebuild in-house

Drywall, flooring, and paint by the same company that dried it.

Burst pipe claims are clean water if we get there fast. The goal is to keep them that way: extract, dry, verify, and rebuild before the water turns into a mould problem.

  • Confirm the water is off and extract standing water
  • Map moisture inside walls, floors, and ceilings
  • Dry the structure with monitored equipment
  • Rebuild and hand over the insurance file
Structural drying after a burst pipe

Burst pipe water damage in Greater Vancouver

Most Vancouver pipe bursts are not frozen pipes. They are aging copper in older homes, failed PEX fittings in newer builds, and appliance hoses in condos. Winter cold snaps add frozen lines on the North Shore and in unheated crawlspaces.

Turn off the main valve, switch off power to wet areas if it is safe, and move valuables out of the water. Then call Shield — we answer 24/7 and target a 60-minute arrival.

In stratas, a burst pipe often affects more than one unit. We document each one separately so owners, the strata, and the insurer can sort out who covers what.
