Burst Pipe Water Damage in Willoughby, BC
Willoughby bursts are a PEX fitting in a new wall. The water hits the kitchen ceiling or crosses the party wall. There is usually no basement to take it.
These are not Poly-B houses. Writing them up like an older Surrey suite is how the claim goes sideways.
Fittings over the kitchen
We shut the manifold or the local valve, open the soft lid, and check the garage ceiling. The top-floor bathroom is metered so we cut upstairs only if the subfloor is wet.
Shared-wall fittings
A fitting on the shared wall wets the neighbour first. We meter both units before any drywall decision. The stain is not a map.
Cold garages
Lines that pass a cold garage freeze. The split may be in the garage wall with the drip in the kitchen. We open the garage side too.
How this shows up in Willoughby
Manifold fitting, kitchen lid soft
Valve off. Bays open. Garage lid checked.
Neighbour's wall wet, yours dry to the eye
Both metered. Cavity opened from the wet side.

Questions from this area
Burst Pipe Damage in Willoughby: common questions
The house is three years old. Can a pipe still burst?
Yes. A fitting fails. Age is not the story. The wet ceiling is.
Warranty will send someone Friday. Can you wait?
We can wait to repipe. We should not wait to open a wet lid.
Do detached homes here burst into a crawl?
Some do. Townhouses burst into a ceiling. We look at which one we are standing in.
