We restore water damage 24/7 in Macomb County.

Sometimes, the first sign of a frozen pipe is an unfamiliar sound—like dripping inside a wall. In winter in Harrison Charter Township, Michigan, pipes in poorly insulated walls or basements are particularly vulnerable. As the ice melts, water can seep through cracks in the pipe, causing subtle but destructive leaks that worsen over time.

A homeowner might dismiss the noise initially, thinking it's minor. However, as drywall begins to swell, water stains appear, and ceilings sag, the seriousness of the problem becomes evident. Hidden leaks can lead to mold growth, warped flooring, and structural damage, requiring extensive repairs.

Preventative measures include insulating pipes, sealing drafts, and letting faucets drip during extreme cold to maintain water movement. Homeowners should also inspect vulnerable areas, such as basements and exterior walls, for early signs of freezing.

At the first sign of trouble—whether it's dripping sounds, frost on pipes, or reduced water pressure—our Mount Clemens and New Baltimore teams can help.
