Bemidji Residents Rely On Us to Restore Frozen Pipe Water Damage?
2/6/2024 (Permalink)
Water damage can happen at any time of the year, and during the winter months, water damage from frozen pipes is known to happen in our region. Our local Bemidji, Grand Rapids, and Hibbing teams are on call and ready to respond to water damage emergencies day or night, 365 days a year. When water in pipes freezes, it expands, creating immense pressure within the pipes. This pressure can lead to cracks or fractures in the pipe walls, and when the ice thaws or if there's an attempt to use the plumbing system, water begins to flow uncontrollably. Here are the potential consequences of burst frozen pipes:
Flooded Interiors: The bursting of pipes can result in immediate flooding of affected areas, causing extensive damage to floors, walls, ceilings, and belongings.
Structural Damage: Prolonged exposure to water can weaken structural components like wooden beams, drywall, and the foundation, leading to long-term structural issues.
Mold Growth: Moisture from the burst pipes creates an ideal environment for mold growth, which can affect indoor air quality and pose health risks.
Electrical Hazards: Water infiltration can damage electrical systems, increasing the risk of electrical fires and other safety hazards.
Possessions Damage: Furniture, electronics, documents, and personal belongings may be irreparably damaged by water.
