The moment

When the temperature drops well below freezing in a place that rarely sees it, pipes burst, and the calls pour in as the thaw starts. Older homes with older plumbing go first.

The Hard Freeze marks where the freeze hit and lists the older homes inside it, where the plumbing is the first to fail.

Who it's for

  • Plumbers
  • Water restoration firms
  • Insulation and pipe-protection contractors

What you get

  • The area a hard freeze hit, by date
  • Older homes inside it
  • Addresses for routing
  • A dated list for every freeze

The outcome

Your plumbers and water crews work the older neighborhoods on the morning of the thaw instead of waiting for the phone to ring.

Questions buyers ask

Does a hard freeze mean pipes burst?
No. It means the conditions for a burst were there, on homes old enough to have the plumbing that fails first. The list tells you where to look.
Is it only for warm-weather states?
No. It flags a freeze where it's unusual for that area, which is where the plumbing isn't built for it. That's often the South, and not always.
Can I plan crews before the thaw?
Yes. The list is tied to the freeze itself, so you can stage crews ahead of the thaw.
