If your pipes burst, do this ...

A burst water pipe can cause serious damage to your home and property.

When pipes freeze, the water expands, which can cause the pipes to burst and then the thawed water starts a leak.

If you know what to do when a frozen pipe bursts you can be two steps ahead of a bad situation.

Helpful tips:

• Turn off the water at the main as soon as you notice the damage. 
• Turning on all your hot and cold taps, this will help drain the system.
• Thaw any exposed pipes with a hairdryer if possible.
• If the damage has gone unnoticed for some time due to an absence in the unit, there could be significant issues with safety. Call the professionals at SERVPRO.
