Burst pipes in older homes during cold snaps
Why it happens here
Many East End homes have original or older supply lines that are vulnerable to freezing. A cold night can split a pipe behind a wall, and the water does not show up until it has soaked insulation and drywall.
Our approach
We shut off the water, find the split with a thermal imaging camera, and extract before opening the wall. Then we dry the cavity with air movers and a dehumidifier, and we check the whole line, not just the failed section.
