THAWING ALERT! 

As temperatures rise above freezing, frozen pipes will start to defrost. When pipes freeze, the ice inside expands, posing a risk of cracks or bursts. 

Once the thaw begins, be on the lookout for water leaks inside or around the outside of your home. If you suspect a serious issue or cannot identify which pipe is frozen, stop the flow of water by closing your main water shut-off valve. 

Our dedicated crew at SERVPRO of Point Pleasant is here to assist you 24/7 if you do experience a water leak from a frozen or burst pipe. Call us at 732-202-3001 today.
