Dangers of Frozen Pipes

Why are frozen pipes such a concern for Massachusetts residents? Frigid temperatures can cause the pipes to freeze as well as the water inside of them. When the water freezes, it causes the pipes to expand and ultimately burst, leaving you with a huge mess.

Frozen pipes lead to plumbing and structural damage, which come with costly problems including:

• Mold growth
• Loss of structural integrity
• Ruined pipes

Keeping your pipes in good condition can help you avoid these issues. That said, sometimes emergencies happen. When they do, count on Blue Harbor Plumbing, Heating & Cooling for fast and reliable service.

When To Call a Professional for Frozen Pipe Repair

Give our team a call when you suspect frozen pipes in your home or business and we’ll quickly respond with professional repairs. Below is a breakdown of warning signs that indicate you need frozen pipe repair.

No Running Water

Do you turn on your sink and nothing comes out? If the problem occurs in the wintertime, it’s likely that your pipes are frozen, so water can’t flow from your faucets. Contact our plumbers if you experience a complete or partial lack of water.

Even partially frozen pipes can turn dangerous, so we must repair the problem immediately. Turn all of your faucets off while you wait for experts to arrive to avoid potential damage to your plumbing fixtures.

Small Signs of Water Damage

Check all spaces of your home for signs of water damage. For example, a crawl space could begin to sprout mold if water starts to slowly leak from a nearby pipe.

Don’t hesitate to schedule frozen pipe repair if you notice other signs of water damage, including:

• Stains around your walls, floors, or ceilings
• Peeling paint or wallpaper
• Faint sounds of dripping water
• Musty odors

The experts at Blue Harbor Plumbing, Heating & Cooling can make sure that all of the pipes that connect to your water heater and other plumbing fixtures remain intact.

Visible Frost on Pipes

Cold temperatures, either from your air conditioning or outdoor exposure, can cause frost to form on pipes. Try to increase the temperature of your property to avoid this problem and prevent the pipes from fully freezing. If you do notice frost on exposed pipes, contact a professional plumber right away.
