Frozen pipes within a home or building are a serious problem because they are at risk of bursting and causing significant water damage. It is common for pipes to freeze in the Chicago area during the winter months and when they burst, they can spill a lot of water in your home very quickly. It is important to watch out for frozen pipes and to call a professional to clean up the damage caused by a pipe burst.
At ProTech Restoration, we provide frozen pipe damage restoration to clean up the water damage caused by burst pipes in Elgin, IL. Our technicians will remove excess water and thoroughly dry the affected areas, as well as restore the resulting damage.
What Causes Pipe Bursts?
A pipe burst can be caused by a few different things, such as improper installation or wear and tear to the pipe. In most cases, burst pipes are the result of frozen pipes. Water within the pipes is at risk of freezing when the outside temperature is below freezing, and the ice will continue to expand which builds pressure within the pipe. Eventually, the pipe will burst and cause water to spill into the building which can result in major property damage.
Frozen Pipe Restoration
If a pipe bursts in your home, you need to shut off the water supply and call our professionals. Pipe bursts can cause many gallons of water to spill into your home and the water will spread by getting absorbed into porous building materials and furnishings. The materials that absorb the water are at risk of damage including corrosion, warping, and structural damage in severe cases.
Extensive water damage from a burst pipe can also cause mold growth as mold tends to form in areas where there is excess water or moisture. If there is mold involved, it will increase the property damage and put your health at risk. Calling our professionals right away after a pipe burst will help limit the spread of the water and prevent mold growth.
Our professionals at ProTech Restoration are experienced in addressing water damage and we can restore the damage caused by a burst pipe. We will first remove the water and dry the affected areas using advanced water extraction and drying equipment. After the water extraction and drying is complete, we will restore the resulting damage and check for mold growth.
If a pipe bursts in your home or building, you need to call our professionals at ProTech Restoration right away to stop the spread of the water and restore the damage. You can reach us 24 hours a day at (847) 558-6604 for frozen pipe restoration in Elgin, IL, and the surrounding areas.

"Had a great experience working with Marshall when we had an emergency leak at my mom’s house. He immediately started working to salvage what we could. I felt like he absolutely understood the urgency, and treated my mom like his own! He and the rest of the team were super easy to work with and answered our (many) questions along the way. They were very transparent about the process which was extremely helpful as this was our first time with this kind of issue in 30+ years of owning the house. We so appreciate ProTech for aiding us during our time of need."

"My experience with ProTech was wonderful from the first visit thru the last. Ben did a great job of evaluating the work that needed to be done and explaining everything to me. Frank and Sergio were great to work with because they were pleasant AND they were so very careful about everything they did. All in all, I give the ProTech team an A+!"

"I had a pipe burst and subsequent leakage into my basement. At first I thought that we maybe stopped it in time since we could not see obvious damage but Marshall at ProTech said it would be a good idea to check it out anyway and came out within a couple of days. I’m so glad he did since there was more damage than we anticipated. Marshall explained the damage thoroughly using his imaging techniques and provided a quote within the day. Pricing was good and our insurance accepted the proposal immediately. The ProTech team was able to do the water damage mitigation about a week after the incident and on a Saturday no less. Everything was done super quickly and professionally. While I do not want to deal with any more water damage, the repairs using ProTech were painless. I would recommend this company and especially Marshall to anyone in the same situation."
