Rochester, NY, is one of the snowiest cities in the US, with temperatures regularly dropping below freezing. As soon as the mercury drops below that magic 32°F, the water in exposed pipes can freeze, and as ice has more volume than water, it causes the pipes to expand. In itself, this isn’t a huge issue, and a professional can fix the problem fairly quickly. But water is still trying to force itself way through the pipe, causing it to expand further.
UIf it’s not thawed, it could burst, turning a relatively simple thawing job into a potentially costly repair and clean-up.
We can assist through every step of this process, and for over 20 years, we’ve led the market in frozen and burst pipe repair in Rochester.
