It's important to take immediate action if you suspect frozen pipes to prevent them from bursting and causing further damage.

Along with winter comes below freezing temperatures that can put your Boardman, Youngstown, Salem, and surrounding areas home and commercial properties in a bind. Freezing temperatures can cause frozen pipes as well as ice dams. Frozen pipes can be detrimental to your property. Once warmer weather comes along, your frozen pipes can burst from the pressure of the water inside, therefore causing water damage in your home in business. 

Here are warning signs that you have frozen pipes:

• Reduced water flow or lack of water altogether
• Strange smells coming from faucets or drains
• A noticeable drop in water pressure
• Visible frost on exposed pipes   
• Banging or cracking noises when you run water
• Certain appliances stop working
