North Texas does not freeze often, and that is exactly why frozen pipe bursts do so much damage here. Homes are not built for deep cold, so when a hard freeze like February 2021 settles in, water in attic, garage, and exterior-wall pipes freezes, expands, and splits the line. You often do not know until it thaws, and then it pours into the house all at once. We stop the water, pull the flood, and dry inside the walls before the framing is lost.
Why Garland pipes freeze and burst
A frozen pipe burst is a different failure from a corroded or over-pressured line, and it hits the parts of the house exposed to the cold:
- Supply lines run through an uninsulated attic or exterior wall
- Garage and outdoor-faucet lines with no freeze protection
- Homes left at low heat or vacant during a freeze
- Pipes that froze once already and were weakened
The split itself often happens during the freeze, but the flood comes with the thaw, which is why the damage can start hours after the cold has passed. A ruptured line from pressure or corrosion in normal weather is burst pipe cleanup, a separate job we also handle.
Our frozen pipe response
When a frozen line lets go, ICS Restoration moves fast:
- Help you shut the water off at the main and locate the split
- Extract the standing water from floors and from the ceiling below if it spread down
- Open and dry the attic, wall cavities, and framing the water reached
- Run air movers and dehumidifiers to a verified dry reading
- Document the loss and coordinate the pipe repair
Because the water is clean, most of what it touched can be dried and saved when we reach it fast. Quick structural drying keeps a thaw flood from becoming a rebuild.
Pipe froze and now water is pouring in? Shut your main if you can, then call. A Garland crew is on the way, 30 to 45 minutes out.
☎ Call (214) 935-3936Protecting your pipes before the next freeze
Most frozen pipe bursts in Garland are preventable with a little preparation before a hard freeze:
- Insulate attic, garage, and exterior-wall pipes and outdoor faucets
- Disconnect and drain garden hoses before the first freeze
- Let a faucet drip on the coldest nights to relieve pressure
- Keep the heat on and cabinet doors open if pipes run through exterior walls
The Ready.gov winter weather guide covers freeze prep, and our drying follows the standards of the IICRC.
Know your main shut-off before winter
When a frozen line thaws, it can dump hundreds of gallons an hour. The single best thing you can do is know where your main shut-off is and make sure it turns, so you can stop the water in the first minute.
A pipe in the attic split in the freeze and flooded our upstairs when it thawed. They shut the water, extracted fast, and dried the walls and ceiling without tearing everything out. Saved us from a much bigger repair.

FAQ
Frozen Pipe Burst Cleanup questions, answered
Water in your home right now?
Do not wait for the FAQ. A local Garland crew is standing by 24/7.
(214) 935-3936 Call nowWhat do I do the moment a frozen pipe bursts?
Shut the water off at the main right away, then cut power to the flooded area at the breaker if you can do it safely. Move what you can off the wet floor and call us. Stopping the water in the first minute matters most to the final cost.
Is a frozen pipe burst covered by insurance?
A sudden burst from a freeze is usually covered on a Texas homeowners policy, especially if you kept the heat on. We document the failure and the drying and bill your carrier directly, so you typically pay only your deductible.
Can you dry inside the walls without tearing them out?
Usually yes. We open small, controlled access points and use air movers and injection drying to dry the wall cavity and framing in place, then verify with meters, rather than gutting every wall the water touched.
Why do pipes burst in Garland when it rarely freezes?
That is exactly the problem. Because deep cold is rare, many pipes here run through uninsulated attics, garages, and exterior walls with no freeze protection, so a hard freeze catches them unprotected and they split.
My pipe froze but has not burst yet, what should I do?
Do not thaw it with an open flame. Shut off the water, open the faucet so melting water can escape, and warm the area gently. If it has already split, shut the main and call us before it thaws and floods.
