We are a top choice for water damage restoration services in Raleigh County.

Have you ever had frozen pipes in your home or business? During the winter months, our local Beckley team responds to water damage emergencies caused by frozen pipes. One side effect of water damage from frozen pipes is mold and mildew growth caused by the excess moisture.

Here are some of the ways frozen pipes can cause damage to homes and buildings:

Water Damage: When pipes burst or leak, they can release a significant amount of water into the home. This can damage walls, ceilings, floors, and belongings, leading to costly repairs and mold growth if not addressed promptly.

Structural Damage: Water damage from frozen pipes can weaken structural elements of the property, such as wooden beams, drywall, and insulation.

Mold and Mildew: Excess moisture from leaks can create an environment conducive to mold and mildew growth, which can pose health risks and further damage the property.

Damage to Personal Belongings: Frozen pipe leaks can damage personal belongings, including furniture, electronics, and sentimental items.

Increased Utility Costs: Leaking pipes can lead to higher water bills as a result of water wastage.
