Frozen Drain Line Backup in Bathroom
Northvale, NJ • Completed February 2025
A Northvale homeowner experienced a bathroom water disaster when a drain line froze and completely blocked, causing water to back up into the bathroom when they tried to use the shower. Water overflowed from the shower pan and spread across the bathroom floor into adjacent spaces. The frozen line was in an exterior wall, exposed to the harsh winter temperature. Our emergency response included thawing the line carefully, extracting water, and then replacing the line with a properly insulated version. The homeowner learned that drain lines, like supply lines, need winter protection in exterior walls.

Restore, Protect and Beyond Repair
Our Team
We Know Jersey Weather
Nor'easters, flash floods from summer storms, and freeze-thaw cycles that crack foundations— we've seen what North Jersey weather throws at homes. Your basement flooded when that storm drain backed up? We've been there. We know the drill.
Local Construction Styles
Split-levels from the '60s, century-old Victorians, garden apartments, and newer townhomes— Bergen County has them all. We know which basements leak, which crawl spaces need work, and how to navigate tight Jersey properties where the trucks barely fit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers for Northvale residents
Are Northvale slabs prone to seepage at edges?
Yes along exterior walls. We seal cold joints, add interior drains, and maintain negative airflow to dry wall bottoms without full removal.
Do dehumidifiers need continuous drainage?
For basements, yes. We plumb to sump pits or floor drains to avoid bucket overflows—a common Northvale issue in summer.
Can storage stay in place during drying?
We elevate on racks, protect with poly, and dry around items. Contents affected by contaminated water are inventoried for claims.
Is small-area mold DIY-safe?
Under 10 sq ft on non-porous surfaces can be cleaned, but hidden moisture requires professional meters and containment to avoid spread.
