Ice Queen and I’m not talking about Elsa!

Winter weather in Southern Maryland has a tendency to be fickle lately, but what we do know is our temperatures can dip below freezing in an instant. With this being the case, we are at a risk of freezing pipes which can create major disaster to your home.

Frozen pipes occur when pipes are exposed to cold weather outside or even inside your home in areas such as your basement or attic. When a frozen pipe burst the pipe typically rupture causing a back flow of pressurized water to expel into your home. Depending on where the pipe is located this could cause damage to a certain area or your entire home from top to bottom. The pressure can be so significant that it can flood your entire home in minutes.

If frozen pipes damage your home call SERVPRO® of Charles County and SERVPRO® of Oxon Hill immediately! We are available 24 hours a day/7 days week @ 301.753.8313.
