Hot water pipe frozen, frozen pipe water damage, pex pipe frozen,

Water pipes may Freeze, and cause water damage, and possible Mold Growth, requiring Water Damage restoration and Mold remediation. 

Pipes that freeze most frequently, are those that are exposed to cold weather. Examples are outdoor water faucets, swimming pool supply lines, water sprinkler lines, and water supply pipes in unheated interior areas like Basements, Garages, crawl spaces, attics, or kitchen cabinets. Toilet Bowls and Toilet Tanks, can also Freeze up.


Pipes that run against exterior walls, or inside Wall Cavities or Wall Chases, that have little or no insulation are also subject to freezing.

A 1/8-inch crack in a pipe can leak up to 250 gallons of water a day, causing flooding, serious structural damage, and the immediate potential for mold.

To prevent the formation of ice in pipes due to freezing temperatures and to prevent the pipes from bursting, here are some tips:

1) Always place piping in heated areas of a building.
2) Properly insulate attics, exterior walls and other areas lacking adequate heating.
3) Repair broken windows, ill-fitting doors and other conditions that allow heat loss.
4) Keep exterior doors closed, even if not in the immediate vicinity of piping.
5) Maintain Proper heat in buildings at all times.
