When pipes are continuously exposed to below freezing temperatures, some homeowners may experience burst pipe. Oftentimes, this leaves property owners susceptible to no water, high plumbing costs and mold.
Burst pipes occur when water inside pipes begins to freeze and expand, exerting pressure on the inner wall of the pipe and, in some cases causing the pipe to break. When the ice in a burst pipe thaws, it can flood a home or business and cause large-scale damage.
