When to watch out for frozen burst pipes in your Lafayette home?

Be sure and watch out for frozen pipes in your Lafayette home before they lead to any water damage situation. The likelihood of encountering frozen pipes increases when:

• Temperatures drop below freezing
• Water stops pouring from your faucets
• Signs of frost on the exterior of the pipe 

An ounce of Prevention

SERVPRO recommends ensuring the attic is insulated sufficiently to prevent interior air from escaping to a snow-ladened roof, causing melting and refreezing at the edges. All exterior exposed plumbing should be “sleeved” with foam tubing or covered with other products. Place hose bib covers over exterior faucets. An inspection and small investment here can save you thousands of dollars in water damage repair.

It is essential to act fast once you know that your pipe is frozen. However, it might not be possible to take steps in time and thaw the plumbing, and it can burst, leading to a flooding situation. SERVPRO has years of experience dealing with flooding situations of all sizes due to frozen pipes. We have sophisticated tools and equipment to get the damage under control in no time.
