Burst pipes in older homes during winter freezes
Why it happens here
Many Gilbert Park homes still have galvanized steel pipes that corrode over time. When temperatures drop below freezing, the water inside expands and cracks the pipe. This often happens in basements or crawl spaces where pipes are exposed.
Our approach
We shut off the water, extract the standing water, and dry the area with air movers and dehumidifiers. We also repair or replace the damaged pipe and check for hidden moisture in walls and floors.
