Leaks and Ruptures from Frozen Pipes Flood Frisco Homes

Weather patterns over the last few years have inflicted unanticipated flooding of homes in the Dallas/Fort Worth area from burst pipes related to sub-freezing conditions. Plumbing supply and waste lines in Texas often run along uninsulated exterior walls, exposing the fluids to uncontrolled temperature extremes, including readings below the freezing point of water. Water expands when it freezes, stretching, distorting, and eventually cracking the metal or PVC pipes and breaking apart connectors that link sections. Tiny fissures turn into gushing ruptures, spreading destruction throughout your home in Frisco, requiring water damage restoration emergency services.

Likely, the colder-than-expected temperatures experienced in the past few winters have already stressed your plumbing, even if you have not yet noticed a problem. The final straw could be a protracted period of sub-freezing temperatures during this cold season.
