At Burley Remodeling, we have the knowledge
and expertise to take care of all your plumbing needs, as
well as repair any structural damage caused by faulty
plumbing or frozen pipes.
Frozen Pipes Can Go Beyond Just Plumbing
Frozen pipes (both copper and PVC) can cause a lot
of damage to your home, vacation property or business. Frozen
pipes can burst, causing water to leak inside walls and floors,
causing expensive water damage that can go far beyond just the
expense of repairing the pipes. A three millimeter crack in a
pipe can spew up to 250 gallons of water a day, causing water damage
to possessions and irreplaceable assets.

Get the Benefit of Our Experience With Frozen Pipes
If you turn on a faucet and only a trickle comes
out, a frozen pipe may be at fault, especially if the current or
previous night's temperature is at or below freezing. The best
thing to do in this situation is to call a professional.
Why call a professional? It can be dangerous
to thaw a pipe with an open flame, which will probably also damage
the pipe. If there is any standing water due to a burst pipe,
even using a device such as a hair dryer can be hazardous, as using
electrical appliances in areas of standing water can cause
electrocution.
Pipes in attics, crawl spaces and outside walls
are all vulnerable to freezing, especially if there are cracks or
openings that allow cold, outside air to flow across the pipes.
Typically a frozen pipe is located an outer wall, which can be
inaccessible. If you're not sure of the location of the frozen
pipe, trying to figure it out yourself is not advisable.
Do You Have An Older House?
Older houses may be more prone to frozen pipes
than houses built recently according to newer building codes.
If you have had problems with frozen pipes in the past, or are
worried that it might happen in the future, we can perform a free
inspection and let you know if you are at risk, and what solutions
(such as relocating pipes) are available.
