A pipe in the attic split during the freeze and we found water coming through the ceiling as it thawed. They were out fast, pulled the wet insulation, and dried the ceiling and wall without tearing the whole thing out.

Arlington homes are not built for sustained cold, which is exactly why a hard freeze does so much damage here. Winter Storm Uri showed how fast it happens: pipes in attics, garages, and exterior walls freeze, the ice expands and splits the line, and the moment it thaws the water pours out, often into a ceiling or a wall while no one is home. Our restoration crews chase these breaks the second the thaw begins.
Where Arlington pipes freeze and split
The lines most at risk in a North Texas freeze are the ones with the least protection:
- Pipes running through an unconditioned attic, the most common Arlington failure point
- Lines in the garage, along an exterior wall, or in an unheated utility space
- Outdoor faucets and irrigation lines left connected in a freeze
- Any run with thin or missing insulation in an older home
A frozen split is a specific kind of burst pipe, and when it lets go above a room it shows up as a ceiling leak. Our restoration team treats the water damage and coordinates the plumbing repair together.
Our frozen pipe response
When the thaw floods your home, our technicians move in order:
- Confirm the main is off and locate the split line, often in the attic or a wall
- Extract the standing water and any that ran down through a ceiling
- Open controlled access and dry the wall cavity, attic, and framing in place
- Verify a dry reading with meters and coordinate the repair before you close it up
Pipe thawed and now it is flooding? Shut the main and call. An Arlington crew is on the way, 30 to 60 minutes out, day or night.
Call (817) 241-4264Before the next hard freeze
A little prep saves a flood. Insulate exposed attic, garage, and exterior-wall pipes, cover outdoor faucets, open cabinet doors on cold nights, and let a faucet drip. The Ready.gov winter-weather guide covers freeze prep, and the Texas Department of Insurance explains how a sudden freeze burst is usually handled on a homeowners claim.
The damage comes with the thaw
A frozen pipe does not flood while it is frozen, it floods when it warms up and the split opens. If your water was off during a freeze and pressure seems low, watch closely as it thaws and be ready to shut the main.

FAQ
Frozen pipe questions, answered in Arlington
Water in your home right now?
Do not wait for the FAQ. An Arlington restoration team is standing by 24/7.
(817) 241-4264 Call nowMy pipes froze, what should I do?
Keep the main shut off until you know the line held, and open a faucet to relieve pressure. As it thaws, watch for leaks and be ready to shut the water again. If it floods, call us and we extract and dry while a plumber repairs the split.
Does insurance cover a frozen pipe burst?
In Texas a sudden freeze burst is usually covered, though carriers may expect reasonable steps like heat and insulation. We document the loss thoroughly and bill your carrier directly for the covered mitigation and drying.
Where do pipes usually freeze in Arlington homes?
Most often in the attic, since so many North Texas water lines run through unconditioned attic space, and also in garages, exterior walls, and outdoor faucets. Those are the runs to insulate before a hard freeze.
Can you dry it without tearing out the wall or ceiling?
Usually yes. We open small controlled access points and dry the cavity, attic, and framing in place with air movers and dehumidifiers, then verify with meters instead of gutting everything the water touched.
How fast do you respond during a freeze event?
We run 24/7 and prioritize active flooding. During a widespread freeze demand is high across North Texas, so call as soon as you see water and we route the nearest crew to you.
