Burst Pipe Water Damage Cleanup in Hamilton, Ontario
A ruptured supply line releases pressurised water continuously until someone closes a valve, so damage is usually vertical as well as horizontal — through ceilings, down wall cavities and into rooms nowhere near the failure.

- Corroded copper or aging galvanised lines
