A historic cold snap in Texas left millions of residents without power in freezing weather, many of whom will soon face costly flood damage, even as rising temperatures offer a respite from the cold.  Reports of frozen and burst water pipes in Texas homes and businesses are widespread, and the upcoming thaw may further open the floodgates – quite literally, experts said. It is going to be crazy for a little while down there, said Paul Abrams, director of public relations at Roto-Rooter Plumbing and Water Cleanup. I would bet it s pretty similar to the effects of a hurricane. In parts of the country that typically get  freezing temperatures, walls are built thicker and with more insulation, and pipes may be several feet underground or run up through a basement to protect them, Abrams said. In Texas, where pipes are typically weatherized to handle the summer heat, more are on exterior walls or in attics.
