If you have a pipe burst in your home, acting quickly will help minimize the damage.  Here are the steps you should take

• Shut off the water main

• Contact a plumber
• Call SERVPRO of Norwich and Windham County at (860) 887-0447 ASAP
• Talk to your insurance agent

There are a few things you can do to minimize damage before our crew arrives

• If you see water spreading across a ceiling, you might use a screwdriver to poke a hole and allow the water to drip down into a bucket.  This can reduce the water damage area and may also keep water out of light fixtures
• Place buckets to catch dripping water
• Move your furniture away from the water if possible
• Use towels or a mop to sop up excess water on the floor
