Burst pipes during winter freezes
Why it happens here
Scenic Acres sits on a hillside where cold air settles, and pipes in exterior walls or unheated crawl spaces are vulnerable. When the temperature drops below freezing, water in the pipe expands and cracks the line. The damage is often hidden until the pipe thaws and starts spraying.
Our approach
We locate the burst section, shut off the water, and extract what has already spilled. Then we dry the structure and check for hidden moisture with thermal imaging. We also point out where insulation or heat tape would prevent the same pipe from freezing again.
