Frozen and Broken Pipes

The cold winter freeze brings lots of hazards. At the top of the list are frozen and broken pipes, which can bring serious damage to your home or business.

Due to extremely cold temperatures each winter, many families and business owners are faced with water damage caused by frozen or broken pipes. When water freezes in a pipe it expands and can exert pressure up to 2,000 pounds per square inch causing the pipe to rupture. A ruptured pipe can spill several hundred, at times thousands of gallons of water, leaving a home or business in shambles.
