Frozen or split water lines after extended cold weather
Why it happens here
Lancaster County cold snaps can freeze pipes near exterior walls, crawlspaces, garages, or poorly insulated areas. When ice blocks flow, pressure can split a pipe, with leakage becoming obvious during thawing. Older insulation or an infrequently used room raises the risk.
Our approach
We isolate the affected supply, inspect the vulnerable run, and repair any split with compatible fittings and pipe. Before restoring water, we check the repaired section under pressure. We also identify nearby exposed lines and explain practical insulation steps to reduce repeat freezing.
