With the bitter cold of the winter setting with unusual temperatures well below what the Charlotte North Carolina area is used to many people are waking up with frozen pipes only to return home after work to a flood. When pipes freeze they sometime expand and can cause a leak that can cause a large amount of water damage in your home. This can take place suddenly or gradually due to the leak. Some customers will notice the water damage immediately and others may not notice it for days or weeks depending on the amount of water leaking out of the damaged pipe. This is not as common in the Charlotte area but with temperatures in the teens for the past week it is happening. If you notice water coming from behind the walls this may be what is happening and you should contact Property Restoration Inc for emergency water restoration services to dry out the water damaged areas of your home.
