The winter months in Connecticut can bring bitter cold weather as well as the chance of burst pipe water damage.

When not quickly discovered and addressed, a frozen pipe can cause major water damage in your Madison home.

What To Do When A Frozen Pipe Bursts In Madison, CT
How do you know that you have a frozen pipe in Madison? It's pretty clear when a pipe inside a wall has frozen, as you'll notice that you suddenly have low water pressure or no running water, frost on your pipes, strange odors are coming from drains, or hear clanking sounds inside of your pipes.
When you know you have a frozen pipe, you should:
- Immediately turn off the main water supply to prevent the frozen pipe from flooding your home.
- Follow the sound of running water or pipes clanking to find the source.

- Call a plumber to fix the broken pipe and unfreeze any other pipes as needed.
- Move wet or valuable items to an undamaged, dry space.

When you call SERVPRO of Old Saybrook, a representative will take your information and any details about your burst pipe flooding. This way, our team can be properly prepared when they arrive at your property to provide frozen pipe cleanup and repair services.
2 - Water Cleanup & Extraction
There may be flooding and standing water throughout your home when a frozen pipe bursts. When crews arrive, they will immediately begin removing all water from your property. The faster water is cleaned up, the more likely building materials like floors, carpets, trim, or drywall can be saved.
3 - Structure Drying
Once all standing water has been addressed, equipment will be set up around your property to ensure all building materials dry. Demolition is usually a part of the burst pipe cleanup process, as the source of your water damage is behind walls, floors, or ceilings. Drywall will have to be removed in order to ensure all areas affected by water are dried.
4 - Mold Remediation (As needed)
After flooding or water damage from a burst pipe, mold growth is always a possibility. If moisture isn't addressed quickly enough, mold remediation may be required before returning your home to pre-damage conditions.
7 - Cleaning and Sanitizing
Once your structure has been dried, it will be clean and sanitized with an antimicrobial spray. This step ensures that your property is clean and free of bacteria or mold spores.
6 - Restoration
After the water damage cleanup process is complete, our in-house construction team is brought in for restoration. They can replace drywall, trim, flooring, or paint as needed to completely bring your home in Madison back to pre-damage conditions.
