We restore frozen pipe damage 24/7 in Macomb County.

Our teams in local South Washington and Southwest Macomb Township restore frozen pipe damage every winter. Frozen pipes can cause significant damage to your home if not addressed quickly. In Washington, the cold winters often lead to frozen pipes that can burst, causing water to flood homes and resulting in costly damage. If you discover frozen pipe damage, act fast to minimize further issues.

First, turn off the main water supply to stop the water flow and prevent additional flooding. Next, contact a professional plumber to repair the broken pipe. While waiting for assistance, remove standing water with towels, mops, or a wet/dry vacuum to prevent mold and mildew growth. Move any valuable belongings away from the affected area to avoid further damage.

To protect your home from future incidents, insulate vulnerable pipes, keep the heat at least 55°F when away, and allow faucets to drip during extremely cold weather. Regularly inspect your home’s plumbing for early signs of freezing, such as frost on pipes or reduced water flow.

Frozen pipe damage in Washington can lead to extensive repairs if left untreated. Acting swiftly can save you time, money, and stress while safeguarding your home for winters to come.
