This investor-owned house in Horn Lake, MS arrived to us after a recent freeze caused attic pipes to burst. The home was vacant when the damage occurred, and the attic leaks affected the plumbing, insulation, drywall, carpet, and the water heater. Brigman Home Services handled the full water damage restoration and plumbing repairs to get the property back to a rentable condition.
Our team started by stopping the active leaks, we instantly fixed the breaches in the attic plumbing to prevent further water entry. Because the existing CPVC lines were brittle from the cold, we removed the damaged CPVC water lines and replaced them with PEX, so this would not happen again as easily. We also replaced the water heater that had been compromised during the freeze and leak events.
With the plumbing secured, we removed all contaminated debris, affected drywall, and carpet. The removal work was necessary to eliminate materials that had been soaked or contaminated by standing water. After gutting those areas, we set commercial fans and dehumidifiers to begin the structural drying process.
Drying and cleaning are critical steps for water damage restoration. We cleaned any exposed framing and checked surfaces to ensure they were fully dry and free of organic growth. That cleaning reduces the risk of mold development and helps protect the structure before rebuilding begins.
Once the structure was dry and cleared, we rebuilt interior finishes. New insulation was installed where the old material had been removed. We hung new drywall and finished the ceilings with a popcorn texture to match the existing look. After all surfaces were prepared, we applied fresh paint and installed new carpet in the affected living areas.
Because this was an investor property, getting the house back in good condition was a priority. Our combined plumbing and restoration approach addressed the root cause of the loss, replaced damaged systems like the water heater, and restored the interior to a clean, finished state suitable for occupancy.
The homeowner requested additional exterior work, so we replaced the gate and repaired the fence as part of the same project. Taking care of those items at the same time helped return the property to a fully functional condition without the need for separate contractors.
Brigman Home Services in Horn Lake, MS completed this water damage restoration and plumbing repair project by following a clear sequence: stop the leaks, remove damaged materials, fully dry and clean structural framing, and rebuild with new insulation, drywall, paint, and carpet. The result was a secure, dry home with updated plumbing and repaired exterior access, ready for the next step in the investor’s plans.
