Frozen Pipe Damage Restoration in New Jersey
When water pipes are exposed to extremely low temperatures during winter, the water inside expands as it freezes, putting immense pressure on the pipe walls. This process can make water pipes brittle, leading to cracks and breaks. Older buildings with aged or corroded pipes are particularly susceptible to this issue, as their infrastructure is less able to withstand the stress of freezing and thawing cycles. Without professional intervention, a broken water pipe can quickly escalate from a frustrating inconvenience to a significant disaster.
Preventing Frozen and Broken Pipes:
- Insulate Pipes: Wrap exposed pipes in insulation to reduce the risk of freezing, particularly in unheated areas like basements or attics.
- Keep Water Flowing: Allow faucets to drip during extreme cold to keep water moving through the system and prevent freezing.
- Maintain Consistent Heating: Keep indoor temperatures steady, even in unused spaces, to minimize the chances of pipes freezing.
- Inspect and Maintain: Regularly check for signs of aging, corrosion, or weak spots in your plumbing system, especially before winter.

Consequences of a Frozen Water Pipe Break
- Structural integrity: Frozen water pipes may explode if water pressure rises above its tolerance level and may cause buildings to face wide-scale structural damages.
- Mold: Where there is water damage there is mold growth. Mold is harmful to both the health and integral structures of a building.
- Water scarcity: A broken water pipe that is not repaired over time will lead a building to run out of its water supply or the best case scenario has a very slow water flow.
