Pipe Bursting - Frozen Pipe Water Damage services in the metro Detroit Area

Busted pipes are an unfortunate challenge for us in Michigan during the colder winter season.  When water running inside the pipes freezes, it expands, putting stress on the pipes.  That stress will ultimately cause the pipe to expand and rupture.  How do you know if a pipe burst? Sometimes it is obvious other times you may not realize you have a burst pipe. At the onset you may not have any water leaks because the tear in the pipe is blocked by what we call an ice plug.  When the ice thaws and melts, the  water will leak and may cause extensive water damage.  CPVC and copper lines are the more frequent culprits, but PEX pipes can freeze and burst or separate at connection points. ​Pipes located outdoors or along exterior walls like a kitchen sink below a window are most susceptible to freezing and breaking. When it is cold out we put on a winter coat to protect from frostbite, the pipes outside your home and on exterior walls need similar protection to prevent freezing.  Fortunately, R & S Restores can help with get you in touch with a company to help. They have burst pipe repair services, as well as the ability to install insulation around your outdoor pipes and susceptible interior pipes.  This action will help reduce the odds the water inside them freezes and causing damage.  Being a proactive property or homeowner can save you a lot of money and aggravation.  Insulating pipes is best done in spring, summer and fall before your pipes are bursting and you need property restoration.
