Frozen & Burst Pipe Repair Services

With winter at its peak, putting on protective gear for yourself is a given, but don’t forget about your household appliances and systems that need protection during the winter! Your home’s pipes are extra vulnerable during the cold winter season. The running water through the pipes could freeze and expand, causing severe problems with your plumbing system. Not properly insulating and protecting your pipes could lead to leaks, bursts, or cracks.

What To Do If Your Pipes Are Already Frozen

So, what should you do if your pipes are already frozen? We know how much of an inconvenience frozen pipes can be, but don’t panic! You have two options: Contact your local plumbing expert and let them handle the situation professionally or attempt to thaw the pipe yourself. Your ability to DIY a pipe defrost will depend on the pipe’s location.

If your frozen pipe is located inside a wall, we advise you to call a professional. If the pipe is easily accessible, you have a few options for going it alone, including:

1. Using a hairdryer to thaw the frozen area
2. While you do this, run warm water to assist in the thawing process
3. Continue until the water pressure returns to normal.

If the above steps don’t work, call Alliance Plumbing for frozen pipe services, and our friendly team will be happy to get your plumbing back in working order!
