During the colder months of a New Jersey winter, frozen pipes can be a real concern. It is not only about the pipes freezing and you not having water. The bigger issue is when the pipes burst, causing all levels of havoc and damage to your home.

You depend on your sump pump to prevent your Paramus home from flooding in the basement. But it can’t do its job properly when there’s an issue with it.

With winter weather just around the corner, it’s critical for Bergenfield homeowners to understand the risks and dangers of frozen or burst water pipes. According to the website CostHelper, the average cost to repair a burst water pipe can be $900 with other water damage repairs added on top of that amount.

A slow drip can become a gush of water. A sluggish drain eventually may clog and overflow. A water heater, rusting from the inside out, may spill its contents on the floor, damaging your New Jersey home and costing you money.

Imagine this winter, sitting in your Bergenfield home by the fire, looking out the window at the falling snowflakes while sipping your hot cocoa with marshmallows. Life is good. It is good, that is, until you hear the loud rush of water somewhere in your New Jersey home.
