Frozen and Burst Pipes
Serving Newbury Park, Westlake Village, Woodland Hills, Van Nuys
Pipes don’t freeze, but the water inside them may. When temperatures plummet, the water expands as it turns into ice and could exert enough pressure to rupture a pipe wall or break apart a pipe joint. Such leaks, if undetected right away, can cause significant damage to floors, carpeting, drywall, and fiberglass insulation. Burst copper pipes used to supply water to plumbing fixtures or to circulate water to baseboard radiators are common sources of major leaks. Pipes may also burst for reasons other than freezing, such as when a carpenter accidentally drives a nail through one, but freezing is the most common cause of pipe leakage. When leaking or burst pipes strike, Pro Restoration, Inc. is the company to call to dry out, clean up, and restore your living space in Woodland Hills, Van Nuys, Westlake Village, and nearby California.
