Winter weather can be tough on your home, especially when temperatures drop low enough to freeze your pipes. Frozen pipes aren't just an inconvenience, they can lead to serious water damage if they burst, causing flooding and costly repairs. At DryStream Restoration, we specialize in handling frozen pipe emergencies and restoring your home quickly and efficiently.
Why Do Pipes Freeze?
Pipes freeze when they're exposed to sub-freezing temperatures for extended periods, especially in unheated areas like basements, attics, or exterior walls. When water inside the pipe freezes, it expands, increasing pressure until the pipe cracks or bursts.
Signs Your Pipes Might Be Frozen:
- Little to no water coming from faucets
- Frost on exposed pipes
- Strange smells from drains
- Unusual noises when using water
What to Do If Your Pipes Freeze or Burst
1. Shut off the water supply: This prevents more water from flooding your home.
2. Turn up the heat: Warming your house can help thaw frozen sections.
3. Signs Your Pipes Might Be Frozen: Our team is available to quickly assess the situation, address the water damage, and start the drying process to prevent mold growth.
