Broken Pipes Insurance Claim Public Adjusters

Broken pipes from freezing are found to be more common in our service areas during the coldest winter months. However, southern states do suffer from burst pipes as well as in the northern states. Pipe failure can occur for various reasons, such as aging material and weaknesses due to flaws in the plumbing system.

Unlike burst pipes that are caused simply due to material failures of the pipe itself, a frozen pipe is caused by the freezing of water in an adjacent section of the plumbing system.  The frozen water or ice within the pipe then expands and causes the plumbing to burst.  A frozen pipe can occur anywhere in a home where there are pressurized plumbing lines. Specifically, areas such as exterior walls where hose bibs are located, attics, basements and other areas exposed to the exterior climate temperatures.
