Cold Snap: Frozen Pipes Burst and Damage Weatherford Home

Frozen pipes pose a significant hazard during winter months, presenting a substantial threat to homeowners. When the water inside them freezes, it expands and eventually causes the pipes to burst. This can lead to severe water damage once the frozen water thaws or when you turn on a faucet. In such cases, the leaking water can quickly spread throughout your home, saturating its framework and building materials. While it’s daunting, skilled professionals can restore your home from even the worst damage.

Frozen Pipe Pandemonium

Recently, a homeowner in Weatherford who had fallen victim to an unfortunate incident contacted us. A sudden freeze caused three pipes to freeze and burst. We immediately responded, knowing that time was of the essence. Upon arrival, we conducted an initial inspection using advanced moisture meters and infrared cameras. Our findings revealed that the home’s bedroom, living room, and other areas had been thoroughly soaked.

The water damage affected the living room, bedroom, and much more.

Our IICRC-certified technicians got to work immediately. As a result of the extensive water damage, the home required significant demolition of building materials. This included the removal of baseboards, flooring, drywalls, and ceilings. Then, we dried the remaining exposed structure by strategically placing 23 industrial air movers and five dehumidifiers throughout the affected area.

A closer look at the extensive demolition work we performed.

We conducted daily inspections using moisture meters until we confirmed the home was dried to industry standards. As a final precautionary measure, we applied an anti-microbial solution to exposed surfaces to prevent any potential mold growth. The customer was delighted with the outcome, as the home was ready for reconstruction in just five days. Great work, team!
