A supply line that splits dumps potable water fast. In a single-family Miami house that usually means a wet kitchen, a wet hall, and water under the tile two rooms over. In a condo it often means ceiling damage in the unit below as well as the room where the line failed.
Copper pinholes, a failed ice-maker saddle, and a burst braided faucet hose are the usual indoor sources. The water is Category 1 at the start. It does not stay Category 1 if it sits in pad and gypsum through a Miami afternoon. Same-day standing water removal is what keeps that from happening.
We shut the local valve if you have not already, extract, then open only the wet base of the wall. Pin readings on the gypsum tell us the height of the wicking. We do not strip a whole room because the leak was in the corner.
The burst-pipe first-hour steps are the same whether the line is copper in a 1960s Coral Gables house or PEX in a newer Doral build: water off, electricity off if water reached outlets, photographs, then extraction. Do not pull soaked drywall before it is photographed. The claim needs those pictures.
Technician insight
A pinhole in copper often sprays into the cavity for hours before anyone sees a ceiling stain. The stain is the last place the water went, not the first. Meter the wall, not only the brown ring.
