Water Damage Due To Frozen Pipes


Frozen pipes aren’t always a problem in Georgia, but when the right type of weather hits the cities of Peachtree, Newnan, or Sharpsburg, frozen pipes can cause some serious water damage disasters to homes and businesses.

Frozen Pipe Bursts

When pipes are not insulated from freezing weather, water that is stooped up inside the pipes can cause a horrendous problem. When pipes freeze, they expand, and when they expand they do not have the right amount of flexibility to handle the expansion and the break or burst open. Frozen pipe bursts can cause a ferocious amount of water to flow from the plumbing and a frozen pipe situation creates a severe water damage emergency.
Cleaning up a water damage disaster takes a lot of work. Water damage isn’t just a surface level problem. When water is not extracted from a space that has been flooded or even just dampened, it can create an underlying mold problem that will become dangerous and expensive to clean up.

Frozen Pipe Leaks

Frozen pipes bursting is not the only cause of winter water damage. Frozen pipe leaks happen in the walls of homes and businesses and can create a significant problem. Leaks aren’t always noticed right away and when they are finally found, structural damage has usually set in already and, more than likely, mold damage.

In the time it takes for the crew to arrive with industrial equipment and experienced technicians, make the most of these minutes. Damage from water and bacteria growth can begin within just a few hours. Water soaked fabrics, upholstery, carpeting and drapery can be very heavy. A single gallon of water weighs eight pounds, so a 1,000-gallon event could add significant weight to the floors and contents of your space. Don’t attempt to move large water-soaked items; the water damage team will have the manpower to move it out quickly and efficiently. Instead, focus on these helpful tasks: Turn off circuit breakers supplying electricity to wet areas if appropriate. (Don’t enter standing water, of course.)   Unplug and remove any small electrical devices located on wet carpet or other wet surfaces. Move all electronics to dry area. Remove...
