Water Damage - Burst Pipes

Burst Pipe & Frozen Pipe Repair

water damage restorationDuring the winter months in Canada, temperatures fluctuate all over the place, rising and falling above and below the freezing mark. Unfortunately for home owners, the weather can pose a serious threat – burst water pipes.

Burst pipes are caused when the water running through the plumbing lines freezes and builds up with ice. When the water freezes, it expands and puts pressure on the inside of the pipe. Eventually over time, this can cause the pipe to burst and cause major damage within the property.

Due to our overpopulated communities and crowded plumbing systems, burst pipes have become quite common. The amount of damage caused from burst pipes can be very extensive and cause a large amount of money to repair the damages. In most cases, insurance will cover this loss so ensure to have proper property insurance to cover your losses.

water damage repair How to prevent Burst Pipes:

  1. Insulate whatever pipes you can - Given that the pipes run through the walls, flooring and ceiling, it can be hard to know if they are properly insulated or not. The best method is to bring in an insulation company who can check the walls and ceilings to see if there is proper insulation using an infrared camera. The insulation company can also check your attic space to ensure that there is proper insulation, keeping as much warm air inside the property as possible.
  2. Turn off any water sources that are not being used (ie. Unoccupied spaces, garages, exterior plumbing lines). Drain the water from the lines and turn off the water tap. If you plan on going away for vacation – ensure to turn off the water, otherwise have someone come to check the property from regularly to ensure there are no damages. Insurance will not cover your losses if you leave your home and have no one checking on the property.
  3. Ensure to heat your property to a proper temperature this will help the lines from freezing.
  4. Assess any current leaks - If you are aware of any leaks currently in your property, make sure to get fixed. Your weakened pipe is a prime area for a burst pipe to happen.
  5. Check your exterior pipes - Ensure any exterior pipes are dug deep enough into the ground. The ground freezes from the top down, so you want to ensure they are deep enough to avoid freezing.

Does a flooded basement cause mold?

One of the rooms in the house where you will most often find mould growth is the basement. Flooding is a common cause of mould in the basement.
If a house gets flooded, water seeps down to the basement and stays there even after the other rooms dry. This leads to the growth of dangerous moulds such as Stachybotrys Chartarum or toxic black mould.
If your basement floods, it helps to call professionals such as Canada’s Restoration Services, who specialize in assessing, repairing flood and water damage, as well as providing mold removal services.

If you have any questions about mould or basement flooding, please contact us. We would be happy to help.
