What you get from Service Champions:
Pipes often burst in the spring because they’ve been weakened by freezing temperatures during the harsh Southern, CA winter. When the weather warms up, any remaining frozen water in the pipes can then expand and cause cracks or ruptures.
Signs of a frozen or damaged pipe include low water pressure, unusual noises when you turn on the water, or visible leaks. These indicators mean your pipe needs to be assessed and repaired by professional plumbers at Service Champions as soon as possible.
Yes, a burst pipe can often lead to water damage, mold growth, and structural issues in your home if not addressed quickly. It’s critical that you repair the problem as soon as possible. Don’t delay when dealing with a frozen or burst pipe!
Depending on the severity of the damage, our pros may patch the pipe, replace a section, or install a new pipe entirely. Fortunately, we have the tools and expertise to handle the situation safely and efficiently.
Most frozen pipes can be repaired if the damage is minimal. However, if the pipe is heavily damaged or repeatedly freezes, replacement is probably the better long-term solution.
In the event you discover a burst pipe, first and foremost, shut off the main water supply to prevent further damage. Next, contact us at (714) 584-6399 to assess and fix the issue immediately.
If you notice any of the following signs with your home’s pipes, contact the pros at Service Champions immediately so as to avoid potential disaster. Signs that your pipes are frozen and could potentially burst very soon include:
One of the biggest indicators that your pipes are likely frozen is a total lack of water flowing from any of your faucets, toilets, fixtures, showers, tubs, etc. When this happens, it usually means that the water in your supply pipes has frozen solid. If you notice minimal water coming from your plumbing fixtures while in the dead of Southern, CA winter, you most likely have a partial freeze, which is still extremely dangerous and needs to be dealt with by professionals at Service Champions right away.
A major red flag when it comes to frozen pipes is if you notice spots or signs of water damage around your home. This could indicate that part of your pipes has already actually burst and is leaking in your home. Water damage is a red flag for imminent danger and inevitable flooding from a burst pipe in the very near future, and needs to be addressed by Service Champions immediately.
If your home has exposed pipes in any area of the property, always keep an eye on them during the Southern, CA winter season. Through a visual inspection, you should be able to see if there is any frost that is building up on your water supply lines. If you do see frost building up on your pipes, you need to have Service Champions address the issue as soon as possible before the pipes end up bursting and totally damaging your home.
Have you noticed an unfamiliar, foul odor coming from your drains? This could very well be due to blockages in your plumbing system from frozen water in your pipes. In the event you notice foreign odors coming from even just one of your drains while it is cold outside, you should call Service Champions to have your pipes looked at, at the very least.
