Frozen Pipe Repair Services | Protect Your Home from Costly Damage
When temperatures drop below freezing, the risk of frozen pipes increases dramatically. Frozen pipes can burst, causing extensive water damage and costly repairs. Caputo Mechanical Services Inc. offers expert frozen pipe repair services to ensure your home or business remains safe and functional during winter's coldest months. With our quick response and professional expertise, we’re your trusted partner for tackling frozen pipe emergencies.
What Causes Frozen Pipes?
Pipes freeze when water inside them is exposed to sub-freezing temperatures. As water freezes, it expands, increasing pressure within the pipe and often leading to bursts. Vulnerable areas include:
- Outdoor Pipes: Garden hoses, spigots, and exposed plumbing are especially at risk.
- Unheated Spaces: Basements, crawl spaces, attics, and garages are common areas for frozen pipes.
- Poorly Insulated Pipes: Pipes without proper insulation are highly susceptible to freezing.
Signs of a Frozen Pipe
It’s essential to recognize the early warning signs of frozen pipes to prevent further damage:
- Little or no water flow from faucets
- Frost accumulation on exposed pipes
- Strange odors coming from drains
- Unusual noises, such as banging or clanking, within your plumbing
