- 1

Thaw gently. Use room warmth, never a flame or torch, on frozen sections.

Open nearby taps. Let water drain from the thawing pipes.
- 4
Photograph the split. Record the pipe and every wet surface.

Dallas does not freeze every winter. Snow flurries fall in some years and none in others, which is how a hard freeze can catch a household unprepared. The December 2017 storm left 12.3 inches at the Dallas cooperative weather station in Paulding County, and exposed pipes did not need that much to split.
What happens during the thaw
Ice blocks a pipe and pressure builds behind it until the wall of the pipe gives way. The split often leaks only after the ice melts, so the first sign is usually water on a ceiling or floor, not the freeze itself.
- Splits open along the pipe or at a fitting
- Water runs behind walls before it shows on a surface
- A slow drip can soak insulation for days unseen
Shutting the main valve stops the flow, and gentle warmth thaws the rest without cracking pipes that are still frozen.
Hidden damage to look for
Frozen pipe damage hides in places a household rarely checks. Water from an attic split runs down through insulation and drywall, while a crawl space break can soak the subfloor from beneath.
- Attic insulation heavy with water
- Ceiling drywall bowed or stained
- Subfloor wet above a crawl space
The March 1993 Storm of the Century and the 2017 snow were the extremes, yet milder freezes still split pipes that stood exposed.

Once the water is out, wet insulation and drywall are removed and the cavity is dried with air movers and dehumidifiers. Moisture readings decide when the structure is ready for repair.
- Insulation replaced after the cavity dries
- Drywall cut where moisture stays high
- Readings repeated until framing levels off

(888) 532-4616 (888) 532-4616Call about the thaw leakWhy does a frozen pipe leak only after it thaws?
Ice can plug a split pipe and hold the water back. Once the temperature rises and the ice melts, pressure pushes water through the crack and the leak begins.
Should a household thaw a frozen pipe or wait?
Close the main valve first, then warm the pipe slowly with room heat. A flame or torch can scorch framing and crack a pipe that is already weakened.
Does North Georgia weather really freeze pipes?
It can. Snow flurries fall in some winters and not in others, but a hard freeze such as the December 2017 snowstorm can split exposed pipes in attics, crawl spaces and outside walls.
How long does frozen pipe damage take to dry?
That depends on how many rooms the water reached and what it soaked. Moisture readings, not a calendar, decide when the framing is dry.
Is a split pipe inside an attic covered by insurance?
Sudden water loss from a frozen pipe is covered under many homeowner policies, though terms vary. Photos of the split and a record of the drying help the claim.
A thawed pipe floods the quiet places first
The drying team removes the thaw water, strips soaked insulation and drywall, and logs moisture readings until the framing is dry and ready.
