Where pipes burst in Douglasville homes

A lot of Douglasville's housing, from older homes near downtown to the subdivisions along I-20, Chapel Hill Road and toward Arbor Place, sits on vented crawl spaces. That puts the main supply lines in the coldest part of the house. When a cold snap pushes temperatures into the low 20s, those lines are usually the first to freeze.

Crawl space supply lines, especially near open foundation vents
Kitchen and bathroom sinks on exterior walls
Outdoor spigots with hoses still attached
Garage and attic lines in homes with water heaters or plumbing in unheated spaces
Washer and toilet supply hoses, which can fail any time of year

Two jobs: the pipe and the water

Fixing the pipeA plumber repairs or replaces the broken section. Many restoration companies can coordinate one.

Drying the houseA restoration company extracts water, removes soaked materials and dries the structure with commercial equipment.

Homeowners often fix the pipe and stop there. The water that already soaked into the subfloor, insulation and drywall is what causes mold, warped floors and musty smells weeks later.
