Garner, NC homes and water

What to do first in Garner
Garner runs colder than Wake County as a whole. NOAA climate normals show 88 nights a year at 32 degrees or colder here, against 70 countywide. A split pipe in an attic, garage or crawl space is a common winter cause. Close the main valve first, usually where the line enters. About 25% of homes sit in buildings with 5 or more units, and there the manager may need to close it.
After that, switch off electricity to the affected rooms. Photograph the wet areas and anything damaged. Move belongings to a dry room, and keep the heat on so other lines stay thawed. Then phone about burst pipe cleanup. Drying should begin within 24 to 48 hours, and the call itself can happen at any hour, since it is answered 24/7.
