Frozen Pipe Water Damage Restoration in Columbia, MD

Top To Bottom Renovation, Inc.

(301) 579-8215

If there are freezing temperatures outside, then you need to be concerned for your property because the cold means that your pipes have the potential to become frozen. The water inside the pipes can turn into ice when the temperature is cold enough and this ice places pressure on the pipes. Enough pressure from the ice will force the pipe to burst open and spread water everywhere.

If you fail to keep your pipes warm, then it’s possible for them to freeze. If the pipes freeze, then they can burst and cause thousands of dollars worth of damage.

At Top To Bottom Renovation, Inc., we provide Columbia, MD, with water damage restoration services for frozen and burst pipes and insurance claim assistance.

Plumbing and Water Damage Restoration - Top To Bottom Renovation

Burst Pipes

When a pipe bursts, the water it was holding floods the area, leaving you with an emergency. In such a case, you need to turn the main water switch off, then call a professional for help.

With plenty of experience, our professional technicians can handle your burst pipe emergency. We will immediately come to your home to remove the water and restore the damage. If any soiled building materials require replacement, then we can take care of that as well.

Finding Burst Pipes

It can be tough to find frozen pipes because they are often in concealed areas, such as in the attic or behind a wall.

When you find a burst pipe, immediately shut off the main water switch and reach out to us for help. Our professionals use advanced equipment that effectively and efficiently extracts standing water and eliminates excess moisture from the air and building materials.

 

How to Prevent Frozen Pipes

Take the time to prepare your pipes for the cold weather to prevent them from bursting open. You can follow these steps to help you out:

  • Turn the faucets on, using the hot water and cold water valves, so that a low water stream flows. This water will run through the pipes and make it tougher for the pipes to freeze.
  • Cover up your water pipes with electrical tape or insulation to keep them warm.
  • When there are freezing temperatures outside, you can set up a heater in the crawlspace, basement, and/or attic.
  • Open cabinets so that warm air can reach and circulate around the pipes.
  • Prevent water from flowing to exterior pipes by shutting the main exterior valve off.

What to Do When Finding Frozen Pipes

If water fails to come out of your faucets, then there’s a chance your pipes have frozen. In such a case, you need to check for frozen pipes. If they have frozen, then you must thaw them promptly. To do so, follow these steps:

  • Locate the wall behind but still adjacent to the pipe and place a space heater or infrared lamp there.
  • Remove the entire section of drywall for better access to the pipe. Use a heat lamp or hair dryer to thaw it. If you’d like, then you can heighten the water pressure inside the pipe by turning on the water, which will help push the ice out of the way.
  • Turn up the heat in your home.

When temperatures are below freezing, you need to take extra care of and monitor your home’s pipes. You don’t want them to freeze. Otherwise, they may burst and cause water damage.

Rating 5 5 Star Disaster Restoration Rating

"Top To Bottom is highly exceptional on every level from the quality of work to professionalism. This was my first time dealing with a flood as well as filing an insurance claim. Fred not only walked me through the process but was always available to the insurance company for their requests and visits. Unfortunately, I was out of state during the critical moments of the renovation. But, Fred went above and beyond to make a complicated situation extremely easy. His communication was thorough and consistent; and, he took the lead with other contractors to ensure that the project remained on schedule. Most importantly, I was completely at ease given the care Fred and his team took with our home. And, our kitchen looks beautiful!!! We are so fortunate to have found Top To Bottom!"

"OUTSTANDING!!! Fred and his team were professional, prompt, responsive and went way above and beyond in the services they provided. I contacted them to assist with water damage from a pipe that burst. His team handled the cleanup and water mitigation flawlessly. He always stayed in communication and responded to my calls, texts and questions. A week later I had a leak at another property and Fred was my first call. He handled the 2nd house as well and even identified additional things that needed to be addressed with the furnace, roof and mold. I'd give 6 stars if possible. ****** Call Fred. He'll get it done!"

“I can't recommend this company highly enough! Imagine getting a call in the middle of the night and being told that a pipe burst and your basement is filled ankle-high with water. That's what I was dealing with when I spoke to Fred at 4am. He immediately got a team out and they took care of the problem- getting up the water, cutting open the ceiling and the walls in several rooms. They took up the floor throughout the basement and installed heavy duty dryers. They came out everyday to assess the moisture level until everything was all dry. I was out of town while all of this was taking place, but Fred was very easy to work with and he called and/or texted me everyday! I didn't get the chance to meet him until 3 weeks later when he came by to pick up the payment. A true professional, who's company is licensed and bonded and my insurance company is very familiar with. Such a pleasure!”
