Frozen or Burst Pipes Leading to Water Damage? Why SERVPRO is Your Best Option

12/11/2020 (Permalink)

A frozen or burst pipe can mean big water damage trouble. Here's why calling SERVPRO of Bloomfield/Enfield will get you back to normal ASAP.

It may have started with a sudden gush or a slow seeping, but if you discover a frozen or burst pipe in your home, you need to act quickly to minimize the water damage to your structure and possessions. A few things you’ll want to do immediately are:

If your pipe is frozen:

• Shut off the water at the main house valve and open all the faucets in your home to relieve pressure.
• Warm the connecting pipe (with a hair dryer or electric heating pad) to slowly thaw the ice blockage.
• Check for leaks.

If your pipe has burst:

• Shut off the water at the main shutoff valve and consider shutting off the electricity, too, for safety.
• Clean up standing water to stay safe and prevent more water damage.
• For a pinhole leak, try patching it quickly with duct tape or by clamping a flexible rubber patch over the hole. For a larger leak, try a sleeve clamp sized to your pipe.
