A cold snap froze a line in the garage and it split when it thawed. Water was everywhere. They extracted it, dried the wall, and were quick about it. Very reassuring on the phone.
Camille A.A pipe in the crawl froze and burst during that cold week. The crew found it, dried the crawl and subfloor, and helped with the insurance. Solid work.

What to do about frozen pipe water damage in Olympia
Shut off the main
If a frozen pipe has split, close the main water valve before it thaws and floods, or the moment you see water.
Do not thaw with flame
Never use an open flame on a frozen pipe. If you must, use gentle warm air, but shutting the main is the priority.

Olympia does not freeze the way the mountains do, which is exactly why frozen pipes catch people off guard here. Homes are not always built with hard freezes in mind, so when an Arctic outbreak drops the lowlands into the teens for a few days, exposed lines in crawl spaces, garages, and exterior walls can freeze and split. The cruel part is the flood usually comes not while it is frozen but when it thaws, sometimes while everyone is asleep. Our restoration crews handle the water fast, any hour.
Where Olympia pipes freeze
The vulnerable lines are the ones exposed to outside cold. In our homes that means:
- Pipes running through a vented crawl space with cold air moving under the house
- Lines in an unheated or attached garage
- Supply lines in exterior walls with little insulation
- Hose bibs and outdoor spigots left connected in a cold snap
Ready.gov has a clear guide to preventing frozen pipes during a cold snap. A frozen split behaves like any burst pipe once it thaws, and we treat it with the same urgency.
Frozen pipe split and flooding as it thaws? Shut off your main, then call our 24/7 Olympia line. A crew is on the way to extract and dry, 45 to 90 minutes out.
☎ Call (360) 498-7387How we handle a frozen pipe loss
Once the line lets go it is a race to pull the water and dry the structure before it spreads.
- Confirm the water is off and locate every place the water traveled
- Extract standing water from floors, crawl spaces, and cabinets
- Open and dry wall cavities where a hidden line split
- Run air movers and dehumidifiers to a verified reading, then bill your carrier
The National Weather Service Seattle office issues the cold-snap alerts that precede these losses. When a line has already split, we handle the cleanup and the paperwork.
Insulate crawl and garage pipes before the cold hits
The pipes that freeze in Olympia are the exposed ones in crawl spaces, garages, and exterior walls. A few dollars of pipe insulation and a dripping faucet on the coldest nights prevents most frozen splits.

Frozen Pipe Water Damage questions, answered
Water in your home right now?
Do not wait for the FAQ. An Olympia crew is standing by 24/7.
(360) 498-7387 Call nowDo pipes really freeze in Olympia?
They can. We do not get hard freezes often, but when an Arctic cold snap drops the lowlands into the teens for a few days, exposed lines in crawl spaces, garages, and exterior walls freeze and split. Homes here are not always built for it, which makes it worse.
When does a frozen pipe actually flood?
Usually when it thaws. The ice blocks the split while it is frozen, then water pours out once it warms, which is why a frozen pipe can flood suddenly, often overnight.
Is frozen pipe damage covered by insurance?
Sudden water damage from a burst pipe, including a frozen one, is typically covered, though insurers may expect reasonable steps to keep the heat on. We document the loss and bill your carrier directly.
What do I do if I find a frozen pipe before it bursts?
Shut off the main as a precaution, open cabinet doors to warm the pipes, and use gentle warm air, never an open flame, to thaw it. If it has already split, leave the main off and call us.
How do I keep it from happening again?
Insulate exposed pipes in the crawl, garage, and exterior walls, disconnect hoses before winter, and let a faucet drip on the coldest nights. We are glad to point out the vulnerable spots after a cleanup.
