We are ready to respond to commercial water damage emergencies 24 hours a day in Chicago.

When Downtown Chicago businesses have water damage emergencies, they know they can trust SERVPRO® of Downtown Chicago/Team Zubricki to restore the water damage “Like it never even happened.” Frozen pipes are a common challenge during the winter months in Chicago. That’s why our teams are on call and ready to respond to commercial water damage emergencies at any time of the day or night, 365 days a year.

Here are some things you can do to minimize frozen pipe damage while waiting for professional help to arrive:

Shut off the water supply

Locate the main water shut-off valve for your commercial property and turn it off. This will stop water flow into the frozen pipe and prevent further damage if the pipe bursts when it thaws.

Open faucets

After shutting off the water supply, open all the faucets connected to the affected water line. This will help relieve pressure in the pipes and allow water to escape when it thaws, reducing the risk of a burst pipe.

Working with frozen pipes can be risky, and if you're unsure about any step or concerned about your safety, it's best to wait for professional help to arrive to address the situation. Water damage from burst pipes can be costly, so taking these initial steps may help mitigate potential damage.
