Water Pipe Burst Cleanup & Restoration in Atlanta
A burst pipe can release hundreds of gallons of water in minutes, flooding floors, walls, and ceilings before you can react. True Dry responds fast — 24/7 — to extract water, dry your structure, and restore your home.
When a Pipe Bursts, Every Minute Counts
Burst pipes are one of the most destructive water damage events a homeowner can face. A single ruptured pipe can discharge 100–500 gallons of water per hour, saturating flooring, drywall, insulation, and structural framing in a matter of minutes.
True Dry's certified restoration technicians are on call around the clock across the Atlanta metro area. We arrive fast, deploy industrial extraction and drying equipment immediately, and work directly with your insurance company to get your home back to normal as quickly as possible.

Common Causes of Burst Pipes
Freezing Temperatures
Water expands as it freezes, building pressure inside pipes until they crack or burst — a serious risk during Atlanta's occasional hard freezes.
Aging or Corroded Pipes
Older galvanized steel or cast iron pipes corrode from the inside over time, weakening walls until they fail under normal water pressure.
High Water Pressure
Chronic high pressure stresses pipe joints and fittings, eventually causing sudden failures — often at the weakest point in the system.
Physical Damage
Pipes can be punctured or cracked during renovation work, by shifting foundations, or by tree root intrusion into underground lines.
Clogs & Blockages
Severe blockages build back-pressure that can rupture pipes upstream, especially in older drain and waste lines.
Poor Installation
Improperly joined fittings, inadequate support, or substandard materials can fail years after installation — often without warning.
What to Do Immediately After a Pipe Bursts
- 1
Shut off the main water supply valve immediately to stop the flow.
- 2
Turn off electricity to affected areas at the breaker panel if water is near outlets or fixtures.
- 3
Call True Dry at 470-417-2741 — our emergency team is available 24/7.
- 4
Document the damage with photos and video before any cleanup begins.
- 5
Move valuables, furniture, and electronics out of the affected area if it is safe to do so.
- 6
Do not use wet/dry vacuums or fans — improper drying spreads contamination and misses hidden moisture.
Our Burst Pipe Restoration Process
Emergency Arrival & Assessment
We arrive on-site fast and use moisture meters and thermal imaging to map the full extent of water intrusion — including hidden areas inside walls and under floors.
Water Extraction
Industrial truck-mounted and portable extractors remove standing water from all affected surfaces rapidly, including carpets, hardwood, and concrete.
Structural Drying
High-capacity air movers and commercial dehumidifiers are strategically placed to dry wall cavities, subfloors, and framing to safe moisture levels.
Mold Prevention
Antimicrobial treatments are applied to all wet surfaces to prevent mold growth during and after the drying process.
Insurance Documentation
We photograph, measure, and document all damage with moisture readings for a complete insurance claim package, and communicate directly with your adjuster.
Full Restoration
Once dry, we coordinate all repairs — flooring, drywall, insulation, painting — to return your home to pre-loss condition.
