Burst Frozen Pipe Cause of Water Damage in Chicago Business?

We are leaders in water damage restoration services in Chicago.

The professionals at SERVPRO® of Downtown Chicago/Team Zubricki are on call and ready to respond to water damage emergencies 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. Frozen pipes are a common challenge during the freezing Chicago winters, and they can wreak havoc on a business within a day, causing a cascade of detrimental effects. Water inside pipes can freeze and expand when temperatures drop significantly, leading to pipe bursts. The damage caused in just one day can be substantial.

A burst pipe can result in a major water leak. This can lead to extensive flooding within the business premises, damaging inventory, equipment, and the building itself. Sensitive electronic equipment, documents, and valuable assets may be irreparably harmed.

Additionally, the immediate loss of water supply can disrupt business operations. Employees may be unable to use restrooms or carry out essential tasks that rely on water. This can lead to productivity losses and, in some cases, temporary closure.

The consequences of frozen pipes can extend to structural damage. As the ice thaws and water flows, it can seep into walls and ceilings, causing hidden damage that may become apparent later. Mold growth can also become a concern, necessitating remediation efforts.
