When winter weather hits Tennessee, freezing temperatures can create serious problems for a home or business—especially when water freezes inside plumbing.
A slow freeze can quickly lead to a burst pipe, water damage and costly repairs. All Pro Restoration is available around the clock to help property owners take the next safe step.
Why Pipes Burst
Water expands when it freezes. That expansion places pressure on plumbing and can cause cracks or ruptures. Common problem areas include:
- Exterior walls and uninsulated crawlspaces;
- Attics and basements;
- Outdoor faucets and supply lines; and
- Other unheated or poorly insulated areas.
How to Help Prevent Frozen Pipes
- Open cabinet doors so warm air can circulate around plumbing.
- Allow a small drip from vulnerable faucets during freezing weather.
- Insulate exposed pipes and outdoor spigots.
- Maintain consistent indoor heat, including overnight.
If a Pipe Bursts
- Turn off the main water supply if it is safe to do so.
- Avoid standing water near electrical outlets, appliances or wiring.
- Call All Pro Restoration for professional water extraction, moisture assessment and structural drying.
Professional drying and moisture monitoring can help limit secondary damage, mold growth and lingering odors.
