Burst and Frozen Pipe Repair in Algonquin, IL
On the coldest mornings, pipes over garages and in outside walls freeze first. When one splits, it can soak a finished basement fast. Our line is open 24/7. We stop the water, repair the pipe and help you prevent the next one. From our office on Esplanade Drive.
What to Do if a Pipe Bursts
Before we get there:
1. Close the Main Valve
Usually in the basement near the meter.
2. Kill Power Near the Water
Only if it's safe to reach the breaker.
3. Open a Faucet
Drain the pressure from the lines.
4. Call Us
Any hour.
Signs a Pipe Has Burst
Not always a spray:
A Drop in Pressure
- Water escaping before the tap.
Dripping From a Ceiling
- Often under a room over the garage.
Running Water Sounds
- With everything off.
A Spinning Meter
- Nothing on, meter moving.
Signs Your Pipes Are Frozen
Catch it early:
No Water at One Fixture
On a below-zero morning.
Frost on Exposed Pipe
In the garage, crawl space or rim joist.
A Faucet That Sputters
Ice partly blocking the line.
Why Pipes Freeze in Algonquin Homes
Algonquin's newer homes have their own freeze points.
Rooms Over Attached Garages
A bathroom or bedroom over a garage has pipes in a floor that sits over unheated space.
Exterior Walls in Two-Story Homes
Kitchen and laundry lines on outside walls freeze in a deep cold snap.
Outdoor Spigots and Sprinkler Lines
A hose left on or a sprinkler backflow not drained can split.
Homes Left Empty Over the Holidays
Turning the heat down too far while you're away is a common cause.
