Freezing Temperatures Can Threaten Marlborough School Plumbing

Extreme temperature drops are unfortunately par for the course in the heart of the winter months here in Marlborough, and some of the aging commercial structures like the schools can feel the worst of these conditions. While many of these structures are perpetually heated to prevent situations like freezing pipes and other complications, a lapse in the power or other oversights can leave supply lines feeding the property susceptible to these steep temperature drops.

Because water lines get piped to every floor of the building, a singular incident of freezing in the water lines can burst pipes in the Marlborough school and compromise a wide area. How fast this situation gets responded to is vital to ensuring that the school is ready to accept students, even if the primary work area must get sealed off. Custodial professionals are great caretakers for the school, but lack the advanced equipment and specific training of professional restoration services, making the securing of our SERVPRO service vital to protecting the property.

There are no situations where burst pipes do not require repair to the plumbing network and often to construction materials as well. While our technicians work in mitigation tactics like removing surface water standing in the affected areas with submersible pumps and wet vacuums, our licensed general contractors on our team can work on controlled demolition tactics to reach the damaged portion of plumbing.

In addition to toothing out blockwork to reach and repair damaged plumbing, our SERVPRO team can also drill weep holes in the cells of the bottom exposed course to drain out water held in the walls and to give access points for advanced drying tools like our positive pressure systems like the InjectiDry unit. This equipment forces heated air into the structural cavity to ensure that it gets dried out completely.

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of people to consider and accommodate when a water loss incident impacts the school. Our SERVPRO of Marlboro / Concord team can help with a fast response any time disasters strike. We have the skills and the equipment to make even widespread water losses “Like it never even happened.” Give our skilled professionals a call whenever you need us at (978) 486-9868.
