Call Now (833) 502-4258Freezing weather and burst pipes
Hard freezes are one of the most common causes of frozen pipe water damage in Washington. Pipes in exterior walls, attics, crawl spaces, and unheated garages can split, and the leak often starts only when the pipe thaws. The American Red Cross advises keeping the heat at 55°F or higher when you are away and letting faucets on exterior walls drip during extreme cold.
A long rainy season
Months of steady rain in Washington keep roofs, gutters, and crawl spaces under constant moisture load. Small leaks that go unnoticed for weeks are common, so frozen pipe water damage often includes finding where water has been entering slowly.
Crawl spaces and wood subfloors
Crawl space foundations are common in Washington. Water that reaches the crawl space soaks insulation and wood framing out of sight, so frozen pipe water damage often includes inspecting and drying under the house, not only the rooms above.
- Pipes in exterior walls
- Unheated attics, garages, and crawl spaces
- Homes left without heat during travel
- Sudden hard freezes
