Frozen pipes — Krakow, Lesser Poland
Frozen pipes occur when water inside supply lines freezes during cold weather, blocking water flow and potentially causing the pipe to burst. A burst pipe can release gallons of water per minute, leading to catastrophic flooding and structural damage. Call an emergency plumber immediately to safely thaw the pipes and inspect for cracks before restoring water flow.
