When Frozen Pipes Burst, Now What?

A frozen water pipe that has burst A frozen water line that froze and split causing a leak

Sub zero temps have hit most of Michigan the last few weeks and with the bitter cold, it also brings freezing water lines. We see losses occur most of the time with second homes, cottages and maybe a vacant home that is for sale. It doesn’t take long for a pipe to freeze, then have a rapid warm up to thaw the pipe and unfortunately find out that it broke. Some times it can be as small as a pin hole that has had water dripping constantly or could be gushing water once it thaws. No matter the size, the damage it can be extensive if not found and taken care of in a timely matter.
Picture this, you walk into your cottage and find that you had a frozen pipe and it burst, what do you do now ?

1) Find the main water line and turn it off

2) Call SERVPRO of Mt Pleasant, Clare and Houghton Lake at 989-775-5065
