An estimate only, built from typical water losses in homes like these. Every loss is different, and the restoration company sets the real scope after it walks the property.

How this works

Mount Laurel averages close to freezing in January, and a cold snap with lows in the teens freezes pipes that run through garages, crawl spaces and outside walls. The check adds up where the pipes run, whether they are insulated, the thermostat setting, any past freeze and the forecast low. The Ready.gov winter weather checklist covers the rest of the house.

It is a rough screening score, not an inspection. A frozen pipe often splits and stays quiet until it thaws, so check exposed runs the morning after a hard freeze. If one has already burst, the frozen pipe water damage page explains how the water gets dried out, and burst pipe water damage covers other supply pipe failures.
