Frozen Pipes Damage in NJ & PA
Frozen pipes happen most commonly in the colder months on the year. Here in New Jersey and Pennsylvania it’s usually in the late autumn, winter and early spring, during the Northeaster’s that most frozen pipes occur. As temperatures drop, materials will expand and shrink upon weather conditions causing ruptures and cuts in pipes. Since pipes cannot release the tension properly, it can cause major damage throughout a home. Once water is released, carpets, insulation, drywall and furniture instantly become a sponge for incoming water. This creates a perfect scenario for a very complicated insurance claim where Public Adjusters knowledge and experience can bring thousands more to pay for all kinds of damages mostly unseen to the naked eye.
Many second homes are among the highest in numbers when it comes to problems and damage due to frozen pipes. As homeowners are away, even a closed home can take on serious water damage as temperatures dip. Studies have shown that broken pipe claims are ranked second in line following hurricanes for water damage and the surroundings of personal property it destroys.
