Frozen Pipes Cause Damage to Moose Lake Home?

We restore frozen pipe water damage 24 hours a day in Carlton County.

For years, Moose Lake residents have relied on our local Aitkin, Carlton, and West St. Louis Counties teams to restore water damage from frozen pipes. When water inside pipes freezes, it expands, creating pressure that can rupture or burst the pipes. Once the ice thaws or is removed, the water begins to flow again, often causing the following types of water damage:

Flooding: Burst pipes can release a large volume of water into your home rapidly. This can result in immediate flooding in affected areas, such as basements, crawl spaces, or behind walls.

Structural Damage: Prolonged exposure to water from burst pipes can weaken structural components like drywall, plaster, ceilings, and floors.

Mold and Mildew: Moisture from water damage provides an ideal environment for mold and mildew to thrive.

Damage to Belongings: Water can ruin personal belongings, such as furniture, electronics, appliances, clothing, and sentimental items.

Health Risks: Standing water and the growth of mold and bacteria can create health risks for occupants.

Increased Utility Bills: Leaking or damaged pipes can result in water wastage and increased utility bills until the issue is resolved.

Foundation and Crawl Space Issues: In some cases, water from burst pipes can saturate the soil around the foundation, leading to foundation damage, settling, or crawl space problems.
