Burst & Leaking Pipe Water Damage in Ralph, AL

How this job runs in Ralph

A break on a well system is fed by a pump that has no idea anything is wrong. It will run for hours holding pressure against an open pipe, and on a shallow well in a dry spell it can draw the level down far enough to run itself dry and burn out. That turns one problem into two: a wet floor, and a house with no water in it at all while somebody deals with the floor.

Put a tag on the pump breaker and another on the main valve, in plain words. Out here the person who reaches the house first is often a neighbor or a family member rather than the owner, and being able to say 'the breaker marked well, then the handle by the tank' down a phone line is worth more than any equipment we own.

How the work opens

1. Close the main

   The building supply is shut and, on a well system, the pump breaker with it, so the failure stops feeding the room before extraction even starts.
