Winter Storm Caused a Frozen Pipe to Burst in Marlborough CT - A homeowner contacted SERVPRO, needing urgent assistance with a burst pipe flood in their residence. A winter storm had brought freezing temperatures, which caused a kitchen sink pipe to freeze. After the pipe-line began to thaw, the leak flooded the kitchen floor. Knowing that there was an emergency plumbing situation on their hands, the homeowner did a web search for “frozen burst pipe cleanup in Marlborough CT,” and called SERVPRO.

Watch Out for Freezing Pipes and Plumbing

There are many other pipes around the home that can freeze and burst. Sink pipes in bathrooms, toilet water feed lines and water lines for refrigerators are just a few examples of pipes that can unexpectedly freeze. Not to mention, your water heater can freeze when the power goes out, leaving you and your family cold and your home susceptible to further damage and hazardous situations. 

A reminder to everyone: Always open your cabinets and leave water dripping during deep freezes!
