As Michigan’s deep freeze sets in, frozen pipes can burst and unleash massive water damage within minutes. Older homes and unheated spaces are especially vulnerable to leaks, flooding, and mold. Insulating pipes, maintaining steady indoor heat, and draining outdoor fixtures can prevent costly winter disasters. With 24/7 response and expert restoration, Titus Restoration helps Michigan homeowners stop water damage fast and keep their homes safe all season.
When the first deep freeze hits Michigan, the scene outside might look picturesque — roofs blanketed with snow, icicles hanging from eaves, and quiet streets glistening in the cold. But inside your home, another story unfolds. Beneath the floors and behind the walls, your plumbing system is fighting for survival against plunging temperatures.
Frozen pipes are more than a seasonal inconvenience; they’re one of the most destructive winter emergencies Michigan homeowners face. When water freezes inside your pipes, it expands with tremendous force, often splitting the pipe and unleashing hundreds of gallons of water once it thaws. This sudden flooding can soak floors, ruin drywall, and trigger severe winter water damage that leads to mold growth and structural decay if not handled immediately.
Michigan homes — especially those built decades ago — are particularly vulnerable. Aging insulation, older plumbing materials, and exposure to unheated spaces make the risk even higher. Add in the state’s unpredictable temperature swings and lake-effect snowstorms, and it’s easy to see why so many residents find themselves dealing with burst pipes each winter.
That’s where Titus Contracting steps in. As a trusted local expert serving Rochester, Orion Township, Auburn Hills, and surrounding communities, Titus specializes in emergency water cleanup and plumbing leak repair. With 24/7 availability and years of experience handling Michigan’s toughest winter challenges, their team responds quickly to stop damage in its tracks and restore comfort to your home.
Michigan winters are fierce, but with the right preparation, you can keep your pipes — and your peace of mind — intact all season long. Preventing frozen pipes isn’t complicated; it just requires consistency and a few proactive measures that make a big difference when the temperatures dip below zero.
The first line of defense against freezing is proper insulation.
During extreme cold, a small, steady trickle of water can make the difference between safe pipes and a major disaster.
When you’re away — whether for a weekend trip or a full vacation — never turn your thermostat too low.
Outdoor water lines are among the most common sources of freezing and bursting.
Prevention is always more affordable than repairs.
Despite your best efforts, Michigan’s unpredictable weather can still cause surprises. If a pipe freezes or bursts, acting fast is the key to minimizing damage and keeping your home safe.
When a pipe bursts in the middle of a Michigan winter, time is everything. Water spreads fast, seeping into walls, floors, and insulation, turning a single leak into a full-blown disaster within hours. That’s why Titus Restoration provides a comprehensive, hands-on approach to restoring homes quickly and completely — from the first emergency call to the final repair.
Disasters don’t wait for business hours, and neither does Titus Restoration. Our emergency response team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, ready to deploy anywhere in Bruce Township, Rochester, Orion Township, Auburn Hills, and neighboring communities. When you call, our technicians arrive quickly, assess the situation, and immediately begin mitigation to prevent further damage.
Standing water is the enemy of your home’s structure. Titus uses industrial-grade pumps, vacuums, and high-speed air movers to remove water from carpets, subfloors, and wall cavities. Once the water is gone, our dehumidifiers and moisture meters ensure every trace of hidden moisture is eliminated — protecting your home from mold and long-term rot.
Even after water removal, mold can begin growing within 24–48 hours. Titus Restoration’s certified mold remediation team identifies contaminated areas, removes affected materials, and sanitizes your home with antimicrobial treatments. Our goal is to restore a clean, healthy environment so your family can breathe easy again.

Discover the latest strategies for effective water damage restoration and how our 24/7 emergency response can safeguard your home.
Winter water damage spreads quickly through walls, ceilings, insulation, and flooring, often long before it’s visible. Fast action—shutting off water, addressing safety risks, and removing moisture properly—can significantly reduce structural damage and long-term issues like warping and mold. Thorough drying and verification are essential in cold weather, when moisture is more likely to stay trapped and cause repeat problems.
Home emergencies escalate quickly, which makes fast response, clear communication, and proper moisture control critical. Professional restoration focuses on identifying hidden damage, stopping the spread, and stabilizing the environment before secondary problems like mold or structural issues develop. Knowing what happens during an emergency response helps homeowners act quickly and avoid costly delays.
Winter roof failures rarely happen without warning, especially in climates with snow, wind, and freeze–thaw cycles. Subtle signs like uneven snow melt, attic staining, granule loss, or heavy ice at roof edges often point to developing leaks or structural stress. Spotting and addressing these clues early can prevent interior water damage, mold, and emergency repairs.
