Should SERVPRO Handle Water Damage Repair?

Because our SERVPRO professionals have a general contractor license, we can complete many build-back services that homes might require after burst pipes. From replacing damaged plumbing to the immediate impact on drywall and other wall system elements, we have experienced professionals to help.

Coordinating the Work with Your Insurance

Your insurance provider might cover water damage repair for Ft. Pierce homes based on the incident's circumstances. We are a trusted name for completing insurance work as we can meet the initial requirements for damage claim approval and adhere to deadlines.  

Eliminating Bulk Materials

Another crucial element of choosing a restoration team capable of build-back services is the mitigative strategy of controlled demolition. Removing heavily impacted building materials can protect other areas of the house, promote faster drying, and prevent secondary effects like mold development on damp collapsed structures.

New Plumbing Installation

Reconnecting the plumbing network is a priority of the restoration process and needed reconstruction. Burst pipes require portions of the line to be replaced and new fittings to get used, sometimes soldering copper tube pipe or installing a piece of PEX line with compression fittings. The repair focuses on needs in three areas:

• Pipes
• Fixtures
• Connections

Build-Back for Wall Assemblies 

We must reconstruct the wall assembly with the utilities like the plumbing being reinstalled or replaced. The surface of this system is covered with drywall panels, which are finished, primed, and painted. Wood trim at the base of this wall surface must be replaced after filling the weep holes. 

After substantial loss incidents like burst pipes, water damage repairs are more necessary than homeowners believe. The direct impact on building materials is excessive, even with the fast mitigation response of our SERVPRO of Port St. Lucie NE team. We can help with build-back services needed, as well.
