• Insulation issues: Insulation is huge when it comes to your pipes. Pipes that don't have enough insulation or weren't properly insulated to begin with will need a frozen pipe repair. Coquitlam residents should watch out for unheated areas in their homes, like basements and attics, for inadequate insulation.
• Drop in temperature: This is the most obvious cause of a frozen pipe. You can almost guarantee that if there is a sudden drop in temperature and your water is flowing poorly, you will likely need a frozen pipe repair. Coquitlam homeowners can call us right away for help.
• Prolonged exposure: Just like you, if your pipes are exposed to the elements for too long, they will begin to get affected by cold weather.
• Low water flow: While this seems more like a consequence of having frozen pipes, it's actually a cause of them as well. Low water flow makes your pipes more susceptible to freezing because there is less density to freeze.

Now you know what can cause your pipes to freeze and why you might need a frozen pipe repair. Coquitlam homeowners will want to know what happens if they leave this issue and how it can affect them negatively.

• Blocked water flow: You don't want to lose water pressure, and you definitely don't want to be in the middle of doing dishes and nothing comes out of your faucet. Ice blocks the pipe and prevents the flow of water when you need it most.
• Expansion and bursts: Basic science will tell us that when water freezes, it expands. The last thing you want is water expanding in the pipes in your home. A burst from expansion can cause serious water damage in your home.
• Structural damage: Your pipes run throughout your entire home, and when they burst, they can cause serious damage to your ceiling, drywall, and flooring, requiring expensive repairs.
• Mold and mildew: The worst outcome from a frozen pipe is when it causes a leaky pipe or a burst. The water creates damp areas that can lead to the growth of mold and mildew.
