According to the National Weather Service in Taunton, Boston has broken a nearly 100-year-old record for lowest high temperature on Dec. 28 2017.  The record, set in 1924, was 18 degrees. Thursday’s lowest high temperature was 12 degrees — 6 degrees lower than the previous record.  And to add insult to injury the cold spell lasted the remainder of the week. 

Water freezing and expanding within the pipes turns these heavy duty metal cylinders into malleable material.

Frigid temps caused the pipe leading into the toilet in the downstairs bath to burst flooding the entire first floor. The homeowner was at work at the time of the incident and returned to a flooded home.  He immediately called SERVPRO of Framingham and we were on the scene within 15 minutes!

  A New England winter storm with below freezing temps caused a the pipe that leads to the dishwater to burst in the middle of the night.  SERVPRO of Framingham was immediately on the scene.  The water seeped right into the finished basement below affecting the walls, carpet as well as the kitchen floor and cabinetry. 

  Ice dams formed due to a combination of a bitter cold front and the structure of the home’s roof line.  The ice dam was discovered in the valley where the garage roof meets the siding of the second floor.  Thus, creating a “dead valley” an area on the roof where a valley meets an obstruction such as a wall or a chimney not allowing water to flow away from the home.  As a result the roof had to be repaired and part of the exterior home had to be repainted.
