Signs to look for
When to call us for frozen pipe cleanup
Room by room, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.
Water started running the moment things warmed up
For a practical next step, a split pipe cannot deliver water while ice blocks it.
A visible bulge, split or frost line on a pipe
Room by room, split copper often shows a lengthwise seam and a swollen section. After you describe the problem, do not put heat on it until the water is off.
Water is coming from more than one room at once
To help your home recover, simultaneous failures are the signature of a freeze rather than a mechanical break.
A ceiling stain under an attic pipe run
After you describe the problem, attic lines freeze first because the space tracks outdoor temperature.
You came back from a trip to water on the floor
For a practical next step, an unoccupied building lets a break run for days rather than minutes.
What happens
How we handle frozen pipe cleanup
Our home recovery team adjusts the work to what got wet, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.
Phone guidance for a building that is still frozen
Room by room, we tell you to close the main water shut off valve before anything thaws, and which faucets to open to relieve pressure.
A full sweep for additional breaks
After you describe the problem, we check every run that shared a cold space, not only the one above the water.
Unheated space inspection
For a practical next step, crawl space, attic, garage, water heater closet and any exterior wall with plumbing in it get checked.
Bulk removal of water that ran for hours or days
For a practical next step, submersible pumps and truck mounted extractors handle volume first.
Wet insulation removal in cold cavities
For a practical next step, saturated batts and soaked blown insulation in an attic hold water against framing and no longer insulate.
Heat introduced so drying can actually work
For a practical next step, we raise the temperature of the affected space before adding machines.

How many pipes actually broke
Room by room, each additional break adds a wet area, its own access work and its own drying schedule.How long the water ran before discovery
After you describe the problem, minutes at home and five days away are not the same loss.Whether the building was occupied
After you describe the problem, an empty building means no one relieved pressure, opened faucets or closed a valve.Where the break was
To help your home recover, an attic run costs more than an accessible basement run, because ceiling drywall, insulation and contents below all get involved.Whether the space has usable heat
After you describe the problem, if the furnace is down or the space is unconditioned, temporary heat becomes part of the job.Insulation removal and disposal volume
After you describe the problem, wet batts and soaked blown insulation are bulky and non salvageable. To help your home recover, attic removal is priced by area and access difficulty.
Why timing matters
What can happen when the area stays wet
After you describe the problem, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.
The second break is the one nobody found
To help your home recover, a cold snap loads every run in the same unheated space at once.
Thawing without closing the water first
After you describe the problem, heat applied to a split pipe restores flow to a pipe that cannot hold it.
Cold spaces dry slowly and stay wet longest
To help your home recover, a crawl space at 40 degrees gives up very little moisture no matter how many machines are in it.
Wet attic insulation collapses and stops working
After you describe the problem, soaked blown insulation mats down, loses most of its value and holds water against ceiling drywall.

Common questions
Questions about frozen pipe cleanup
Why do frozen pipes burst when they thaw?
For a practical next step, ice acts as a plug. For a practical next step, the pipe often splits while frozen, but nothing can flow past the ice.
How cold does it have to get for a pipe to burst?
After you describe the problem, there is no single number, because exposure matters more than the reading. For a practical next step, uninsulated pipes in an unheated crawl space, attic or garage can freeze after several hours near or below freezing.
What should I do if a pipe is frozen but has not burst yet?
After you describe the problem, close the main water shut off valve, then open the nearest faucet to relieve pressure.
Can I thaw a pipe myself?
To help your home recover, gently, and never with an open flame or a torch. To help your home recover, a hair dryer or a space heater kept away from insulation is safer, and never leave a heater running unattended.
How do I know if more than one pipe broke?
For a practical next step, assume it is possible and check every run in the same cold space.
For a practical next step, i came home to a flooded house. Where do I start?
For a practical next step, close the main water shut off valve and stay out of standing water until power to that area is off.
Does insurance cover frozen pipe damage?
For a practical next step, usually yes as a sudden loss. After you describe the problem, the common exception is an unoccupied building where heat was not maintained and the water was not shut off and drained.
