Burst & Frozen Pipe Water Damage in Bee Cave, TX

The tankless heater hangs on the outside wall by the garage, and the short runs feeding it are the first thing a hard freeze finds. It splits, the thaw arrives, and the water goes straight into the wall behind it. Call (512) 271-5099 any hour.

The freeze breaks we see in newer Bee Cave houses cluster on the outside of the building. An exterior-mounted tankless unit and its short exposed runs, a hose bib on the far side of the house from anything heated, the line out to a pool equipment pad or an outdoor kitchen, and supply runs in a north-facing wall the sun never touches. A burst pipe in any of those puts water into a wall cavity or along the slab edge, and the wall says nothing about it until the drywall darkens at the bottom.

Timing decides the size of it. A frozen pipe stays plugged by its own ice while the cold holds and starts running when the temperature comes back up, which is often a day or two after everybody stopped paying attention to the weather. In a house that sits empty between visits, that water runs at line pressure with nobody there, and the difference between one wet wall and two ruined floors gets measured in hours.

What a freeze break leaves behind

We trace the wet path with moisture meters and a thermal camera before anything is opened, because water travels further inside a wall than the stain suggests and often crosses into a floor assembly. Openings go in at the edges of the wet zone, wet insulation comes out, and air goes into the cavity with dehumidifiers behind it. Stone or stucco outside makes no difference to the method, since a wall like that can only be dried from the room side anyway. Framing is re-read daily and nothing is closed until it holds a dry number.

burst and frozen pipe water damage in Bee Cave, TX

A sudden burst is usually treated as an accidental loss on a Texas homeowners policy, though carriers do ask what the house was doing at the time, whether the heat was on and whether anyone was checking on it. We write down what we find and let your adjuster work from facts. Your plumber repairs the pipe. We take out the water it left. Call (512) 271-5099.

Frequently asked questions

The tankless unit outside split. Does the policy cover what it did to the house?

Water damage from a sudden discharge is normally what a homeowners policy is written for. Whether the equipment itself is covered depends on the policy and the cause. We do not decide any of that. We document the failure, the water path, and the readings, and your carrier makes the coverage call from that file.

Nobody was at the house when it froze. Does that hurt us?

It is a question the adjuster will ask, so be ready to answer it straight. Many Texas policies limit or deny a freeze claim on a house left unheated and unattended, so what matters is whether the heat was on and whether someone was looking in. We report what we find, thermostat included, and we do not shade it in either direction.

The break is behind a stone veneer wall. How do you dry that?

From inside. A masonry or stucco exterior cannot vent moisture out of a wall cavity at any useful rate, so the room side is the only working direction. We open the drywall at the edges of the wet zone, take out the wet insulation, and drive air into the cavity with dehumidifiers pulling the room down.

The freeze was a few days ago and everything feels dry now. Do we still call?

Call. Dry to the touch means the surface, and after a freeze break the water is in the insulation and the bottom plate, where nothing evaporates quickly. A meter answers it in one visit, and finding nothing is a good outcome. Finding something on day three is far cheaper than finding it in June.
