Burst Pipes

What should you do when you have a frozen water pipe burst?

When water freezes, it expands. That’s why a can of soda explodes if it’s put into a freezer to chill quickly and is forgotten.

When water freezes in a pipe, it expands the same way. If it expands enough then the pipe bursts, which causes water to escape and serious damages result.

That is when you should call for your Frozen Pipe Burst!
