Why it happens
Pipes most often burst from freezing temperatures during Iowa winters, age-related corrosion in older plumbing, or sudden pressure spikes in the system. Once a pipe fails, water can flow continuously until the source is shut off, which is why speed matters both in stopping the water and starting cleanup.

Extraction
Standing water is removed quickly, especially from lower levels where it tends to pool.
