Because of the dangerous cold and harsh winter weather that is common in Mount Prospect, IL and the neighboring areas, there\u2019s a high risk for frozen and burst pipes. Water inside the pipes will freeze into ice when temperatures are cold enough, expanding in size as more water freezes. As the ice expands, it puts pressure on the pipe and can cause it to burst open. Not only will there be damage to the pipe from the burst, but there will also be water damage<\/a> to the property from the water and ice that spills out.<\/p>\n

Serving Mount Prospect, IL, and the neighboring areas, ProTech Restoration offers frozen pipe damage restoration services to help homes and business that have been affected by burst pipes.<\/strong> Our professional technicians help by extracting excess water, drying the affected areas, and then restoring what was damaged.<\/p>\n

Preventing Frozen Pipes<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Cold temperatures aren\u2019t preventable, but frozen pipes are. Use these steps to prevent your pipes from freezing up:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Turn your faucets on to a drip so that water movement is constant in your pipes.<\/li>\n
  • Allow pipes beneath sinks to get heated by opening up the cabinet doors. Air will be able to circulate around the pipes and warm them up.<\/li>\n
  • Pipes in vulnerable areas should be insulated with pipe insulation or electrical tape.<\/li>\n
  • Pipes without insulation can be heated by placing a space heater in the area, but you should only do this if it\u2019s safe.<\/li>\n
  • During the winter, take your garden hoses inside, and turn the outside water supply off.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
