There are a few ways you can help to dry out an area after a burst pipe. Firstly, you can mop and physically dry the area with a towel to remove surface water. Then, you will want to ensure the area is well-ventilated and kept warm to expedite the drying process. Do not use direct heat for this to avoid causing a fire – running your indoor heating or using an electric heater somewhere in the room should suffice. To avoid mold, you may also want to consider using a dehumidifier to remove excess water more quickly.
