Frozen and burst pipes

What to do if your pipes are frozen.

A frozen pipe can release water into walls, ceilings and floors before the break is visible. Once the water is off, we locate the affected materials, extract standing water and begin structural drying.

If you suspect a frozen pipe

No water this morning? Here is what to do.

Shut off

Find the shut-off valve and turn the water off

Start at the main water shut-off valve. If the frozen section has split, this is what keeps the house from filling with water when it thaws.

Warm

Warm the pipes gradually

Warm the frozen section slowly. A hair dryer or a space heater is what we suggest; the aim is a gentle thaw, not a fast one.

Open

Keep the faucet open

Leave the faucet open so the water has somewhere to go as the ice melts, and so you can see the moment flow returns.

Assess

Your plumber fixes the pipe. We dry what the water touched.

If the pipe itself may be damaged, call your plumber. If water may have reached walls, ceilings or floors as it thawed, call us: a First Responder is typically on site within 1 hour to establish the next course of action, and the on-site consultation comes with no obligation.
