Converse does not freeze often, and that is the problem. Pipes in South Texas garages, attics, and exterior walls are rarely insulated, so when a hard freeze like February 2021 rolls through, water inside the line freezes, expands, and splits the pipe. The break may not flood until it thaws, which is when a lot of homeowners are away or asleep. A frozen-pipe split is a supply line that failed from the cold, and it can soak a wall or a ceiling fast.
Why a rare freeze does so much damage here
South Texas homes are built for heat, not cold:
- Exposed pipes in an uninsulated garage, attic, or exterior wall
- Hose bibs and irrigation lines left connected and full
- Water heaters and lines in unconditioned spaces
- The split often hides until the thaw, then floods all at once
Once it thaws and floods, the cleanup is the same fast work as any burst pipe, and we move straight into structural drying to stop it spreading.
Our frozen pipe response
Our restoration technicians move fast once a frozen line lets go:
- Confirm the water is off at the main and locate the split
- Extract the standing water before it wicks further into the structure
- Open and dry the wall cavity or ceiling the water reached
- Monitor moisture to a verified dry reading and coordinate the pipe repair

Call (210) 972-3919Protect your pipes before the next freeze
When a hard freeze is in the forecast, a little prep saves a lot of damage. The Ready.gov winter weather guide covers insulating exposed pipes and letting faucets drip, and the Texas Department of Insurance explains how freeze damage claims work. Know where your main shut-off is so you can stop a split line the moment it thaws.
The damage comes with the thaw
A frozen pipe often does not leak while it is frozen. The flood starts when it thaws and the water flows again, so if your area took a hard freeze, check for leaks as it warms and be ready to shut the main.

FAQ
Frozen pipe questions, answered in Converse
Water in your home right now?
Do not wait for the FAQ. A Converse restoration team is standing by 24/7.
(210) 972-3919 Call nowMy pipe froze but has not burst yet, what should I do?
Open the faucet it feeds to relieve pressure, and warm the area gently if you can reach it. Do not use an open flame. Know where your main shut-off is, and call us the moment you see a leak so we can catch it before it floods.
Is frozen pipe damage covered by insurance?
Sudden freeze damage is usually covered on a Texas homeowners policy, though some carriers ask that you took reasonable steps like heating the home. We document the loss and bill your carrier directly for the mitigation.
Why do Converse pipes freeze when it rarely gets that cold?
Because homes here are built for heat, pipes in garages, attics, and exterior walls are usually uninsulated and exposed. A single hard freeze like February 2021 is enough to split them, and many homeowners never expected it.
When will I know if a frozen pipe leaked?
Often not until it thaws. A frozen line can hold until the water flows again, then flood all at once. As the temperature climbs, check under sinks, in the garage, and along exterior walls and be ready to shut the main.
Can you dry the wall without removing it?
Usually yes. We open small access points and dry the cavity and framing in place with air movers and specialty equipment, then confirm with meters, instead of tearing out every wall the water reached.
