How these jobs relate to each other
Most water losses involve more than one of these pages. A split pipe under a kitchen floor is a burst pipe job on day one, a structural drying job on day two, and it may become a crawlspace job when the water reaches the insulation below. Reading the page for your starting point usually tells you which one you need next.
What separates them is contamination and location. Clean water from a supply line can often be dried in place when caught early. Water from a sewer line calls for removal of porous material, because Washington health guidance says saturated carpet and plasterboard usually cannot be cleaned adequately. Hidden spaces take longer because nobody sees them getting worse.
Whichever you read, remember this site is a referral service. The contractor you reach by phone is independent and decides with you what the job involves.
