A line in the garage wall froze and split, and we did not know until it thawed and flooded the laundry and hall. They were out fast, found the break, and dried inside the wall without tearing the whole thing out.

North Texas does not freeze often, but when it does, it freezes hard, and Forney homes are not built for deep cold the way northern homes are. Pipes run through unheated garages, attics, and exterior walls, and a single hard night can freeze the water in them. The ice splits the pipe, and the real flood comes when it thaws and water pours out of the crack, often while no one is home.
Why Forney pipes freeze and split
The February 2021 freeze burst pipes across Kaufman County, and every hard winter brings more. The vulnerable lines are the exposed ones:
- Pipes in an unheated garage or attic
- Lines run through an exterior wall with little insulation
- Outdoor hose bibs and their supply lines
- Vacant homes with the heat turned down
A freeze is only one way a line lets go. A pipe that ruptures from age or pressure year round is a burst pipe, and a braided hose behind an appliance is an appliance supply line leak. A frozen split has its own pattern and its own fix.
Our frozen pipe response
Once a frozen line thaws and floods, every minute counts, so we work fast and in order:
- Confirm the water is off at the main and locate the split
- Extract the water from floors and from the ceiling below if it spread
- Open and dry the wall cavities and framing the water reached
- Run air movers and dehumidifiers to a verified dry reading, and coordinate the pipe repair
Because a frozen pipe releases clean supply water, most of what it touches can be dried and saved when we get to it fast.
Pipe froze and now it is flooding? Shut the main if you can, then call, a crew is on the way in 30 to 45 minutes.
Call (972) 299-3794Prevent the next freeze break
Before the next cold snap, insulate exposed pipes, disconnect outdoor hoses, open cabinet doors, and let a faucet drip. The Red Cross has a clear checklist on its winter storm safety page, and the Ready.gov winter guide covers protecting your home.
The flood comes at the thaw, not the freeze
A frozen pipe can be split and silent while it is still frozen. The water pours out when it thaws, so if the temperature dropped hard and then climbed, check for leaks, and know where your main shut-off is.

FAQ
Frozen pipe questions, answered in Forney
Water in your home right now?
Do not wait for the FAQ. A Forney restoration team is standing by 24/7.
(972) 299-3794 Call nowWhy did my pipe freeze in Texas?
Forney homes run pipes through unheated garages, attics, and exterior walls that are not built for a hard freeze. When the temperature drops low enough for long enough, the water in those exposed lines freezes, expands, and splits the pipe.
Is frozen pipe damage covered by insurance?
Sudden pipe bursts, including from a freeze, are usually one of the more clearly covered water losses on a Texas homeowners policy, as long as the home was heated. We document the failure and the drying and bill your carrier directly.
Can you dry inside the walls without gutting them?
Usually yes. Because a frozen pipe releases clean water, we can often open small access points and dry the cavity and framing in place with air movers and specialty equipment, then verify with meters, instead of removing every wall.
My pipe froze but has not leaked, what should I do?
Shut off the main and open a faucet to relieve pressure, then let it thaw slowly. A pipe can be split while still frozen and leak only when it thaws, so watch closely and call us at the first sign of water.
How do I keep it from happening again?
Insulate pipes in the garage, attic, and exterior walls, disconnect outdoor hoses, open cabinet doors on cold nights, and let a faucet drip. Try our Freeze and Storm Risk Check for a tailored list.
