Burst Pipe Hardwood Floor Damage in Tulsa, OK
A burst pipe can put more water under a hardwood floor in minutes than a slow leak does in weeks. Shut the water off first, then call us. We'll get the water out, find where it went and start drying, day or night.
Shut the Water Off First
Find your main shut-off. It's often near the water heater, in a utility room or garage, or at the meter near the street.
Turn it off until a plumber repairs the pipe.
Open a faucet at the lowest point of the house to drain the lines.
Stay clear of electrical outlets near the water.
Call (918) 675-5474 for water removal.
How Much Water a Burst Pipe Puts Under Hardwood
A supply pipe runs under full pressure, so when it splits, water moves fast: into walls, under boards and across the subfloor into other rooms. On a raised floor, it can also fill the crawlspace below. That's why speed matters more here than with almost any other leak.
Winter Freeze Bursts in Tulsa
Tulsa's hard freezes can split pipes in outside walls, crawlspaces, attics and garages. The burst often isn't found until the ice melts and water starts flowing, sometimes hours later. If you lose water pressure during a freeze, or see a wet wall or ceiling after one, check your hardwood floors nearby.
How We Handle Burst Pipe Floor Damage

Remove standing water from the floor and seams.
Map moisture under walls and into nearby rooms.
Dry in place where readings allow; remove boards that buckle or can't be saved.
Dry the subfloor and check the crawlspace if you have one.
Track readings until the floor matches dry areas of your home.
Working With Your Plumber
We handle the water and the floor; a plumber repairs the pipe. If the plumber needs to open the floor or a wall to reach the pipe, we can plan drying around that work.
