How can I fix a frozen pipe safely without causing damage?
You can thaw a frozen pipe safely by warming it slowly and relieving pressure without using open flames. If damage is suspected, stop and call a pro.
- Open nearby faucets to relieve pressure.
- If safe, close the main shutoff if a crack or bulge is visible.
- Apply gentle heat starting at the faucet end: hair dryer on low, warm towels, or a space heater kept at a safe distance. Never use a torch.
- If you can’t access the pipe, see leaks, or smell gas, call for help. We offer 24/7 Emergency Service and a $49 Frozen/Burst Pipe Repair Assessment with same-day options.
