Common questions

What should I do in the first hour after a pipe bursts?

Shut off the main water valve to stop the source. Turn off electricity to any wet area if you can do so safely. Move valuables to a dry room, photo-document everything for your claim, and call a 24/7 restoration line. The faster water is extracted, the less rebuild and mold work you pay for later.

How fast can a restoration company arrive in Kansas City?

Heartland reaches most Kansas City metro addresses within 60-90 minutes, 24/7. A live dispatcher answers in under 30 seconds and rolls a truck-mounted, IICRC-certified crew immediately. The earlier we extract water, the less rebuild and mold work you pay for later.

How do you know if your pipes are frozen?

Signs your pipes are frozen: no water or only a trickle from a faucet in cold weather, frost or condensation on an exposed pipe, a bulging or cracked section, and strange gurgling or banging when you turn on a tap. The most vulnerable pipes run through unheated spaces - basements, crawl spaces, garages, and exterior walls.

How do you prevent frozen pipes?

To prevent frozen pipes, keep your home above 55F, insulate pipes in unheated spaces, let a faucet drip during hard freezes, and open cabinet doors so warm air reaches pipes under sinks. Disconnect outdoor hoses and seal drafts near pipes in the garage, crawl space, and exterior walls where cold air reaches them.

Heartland Restoration was a pleasure to work with. They responded to my 97-year-old father's water problem the day after Christmas within an hour of our call. They had equipment running soon as possible to do the required drying. Excellent communication and very transparent in all their dealings.
