A frozen pipe can crack or burst once pressure builds. Acting fast can help limit water damage and repair costs.
Call for Burst Pipe HelpIf a pipe bursts, shut off the main water supply immediately. This is usually the most important first step because it can stop more water from flooding the home.
If water is near outlets, appliances, breaker panels, or electrical cords, avoid stepping into the area. Contact emergency help if there is any electrical danger.
Move furniture, rugs, electronics, and valuables away from the wet area if it is safe. The faster the area is cleared, the easier cleanup and drying can be.
