Winter Storm Wrecks Pipes

In our part of the country, we don't often have to worry about frozen pipes. Unfortunately for this residence in Nevada, TX, when an arctic front blew through this time, they weren't so lucky.

The pipe in this particular home broke while the homeowner was out of town. What would already have been an unpleasant situation became even more so, as the water damage went undiscovered for three days after the pipes burst, causing extensive water damage throughout the home. The ceilings collapsed, covering the floors below with water, drywall, and insulation.

In the after photo, you can see that all of the water was extracted, the damaged baseboards were removed, and the structure was cleaned up and dried out in preparation for reconstruction.
