When a frozen pipe bursts in an Old Town, CO home, local crews respond fast. They follow IICRC-standard methods to stop the flow, extract the water, and get the structure dry to prevent mold in these historic houses.
Technicians first close the main supply. They then trace the leak, focusing on exterior walls and unheated crawlspaces common in Old Town homes, where freezing pipes are most likely to split.
Standing water is pulled from hardwood floors and carpets. Wet wall or ceiling cavities in these old structures are carefully opened to allow trapped water from the thaw to drain out completely.
Air movers and dehumidifiers are placed to dry the framing, insulation, and wall voids to a measured standard. This is critical as water from a freeze often hides deep inside Old Town's thick walls.
Frozen pipe water damage in Old Town typically runs from about $1,000 to $4,500, depending on how long the pipe ran after thawing and how much wall, floor, and insulation were soaked. A pipe caught fast in a crawlspace is on the low end; a line that ran through two levels of a vacant home is on the high end. Sudden freeze bursts are usually covered when the home was reasonably heated, and the loss is documented and billed direct to the carrier.
In the historic brick and stone homes of Old Town, CO, antiquated galvanized and cast-iron plumbing is vulnerable to sudden freezes. A pipe burst in an unheated crawlspace or shallow cellar can send water through century-old walls and floors, demanding a rapid local response to limit the damage. Old Town's high-altitude, semi-arid climate brings sharp temperature drops. Combined with the neighborhood's original, aging plumbing systems and shallow foundations, these freezes make pipe bursts a common winter issue for local restoration crews to address. From Old Town, crews also cover nearby Loomis Addition, Westside Neighborhood, Laurel School Historic District, Eastside Neighborhood, Campus West, Buckingham.
