No?

Just us?

Okay.

Water moves quickly to:

• Where-ever gravity takes it (carpet to floor to subfloor to ceiling to walls…)
• Into or through whichever porous materials soak it up (drywall, wallpaper, carpet etc.)

Given enough time to hide, the water can cause structural damage. If the water finds a place where it does not have to evaporate, it may last long enough to support one of its biggest fans – mold – to develop a home.

• Cleanup and disinfection from water damage (no matter what the cause)

Pipes Bursting in Walls

It doesn’t quite have the patriotic stirrings of “bombs burst in air” or the glow of “bursting with pride”.

A Refresher Course in Bursting Pipes

• The most common cause is ice. The pipes freeze, and the ice takes up more space than the water did, which pushes the water toward the closed faucet. Keeping the faucet open at a slow drip prevents the water pressure from building too high. Insulating the pipes also helps.
• Clogs also increase water pressure at other parts of the pipe. When the plumbing starts moving slowly, try drain cleaner. Talk to a plumber first.
• Tree roots and other blockages are horror stories we will save for next Halloween, but not as scary as
• Rusty or fragile pipes – We can fix the water damage regardless of the cause, but we don’t know how to do time travel – if we could, we’d be able to prevent the need for expensive plumbing repairs

Time Out for Trivia!

Polar bears leave hormonal cues in their pawprints! Other polar bears sniff the prints and learn whether a single bear looking for a connection is in the area. It’s more practical than a phone app.
