Plumbers are still catching up after Christmas Weekend's freeze damage.
Crew members at bluefrog worked on a number of residential repairs, this one happened to be under the home.In the last week, David Robbins completed three entire-home re-pipings after the older galvanized pipes at these residences were damaged beyond repair.
Most of these calls deal with more minor repairs, as total home re-pipings are the worst of the damage seen in this freeze, Robbins said. These larger-scale repairs are in neighborhoods with older homes, like in Montrose, and on the outskirts of the city in Humble, Katy and Meyerland.
According to Robbins, most calls handled by their plumbers had to do with more routine repairs to frozen pipes, customers having no water or very low water pressure, vacuum breakers on irrigation systems breaking and pipes leaking. The plumbing company is experiencing some backlog this time around; however it is nowhere near as bad as in 2021. “We really had a hard time just answering the phone in 2021; this freeze has been nothing like the one back then,” Robbins said.“We reached a point where we were behind about four or five days, '' Stewart said. “In comparison, the waitlist in 2021 was between two to four weeks.
