Freeze Damage to a Property

[Raymond Hill]

Hey Guys,

How much does it cost to repair freeze damage to a property? Just wanted to have an average contingency number to fix this. Thanks

Raymond, this is impossible to answer. You asked about freeze damage but then say it was winterized. If it was winterized, the plumbing, furnace, water heater, and everything should be fine and you can get things back up for as little as a few hundred dollars. If it was not winterized, you could have split pipes in walls, a bad furnace, broken water heater, etc. This could cost tens of thousands to repair.

It also depends on the size of the home. What's the square footage? How many bathrooms? How cold has it been in your area?
