Frozen Pipe Thawing & Burst Pipe Repair Services

When outdoor temperatures plummet below 20°F (-6°C), uninsulated water lines in exterior walls, crawlspaces, and unheated basements freeze solid. Water expands by approximately 9% upon freezing, creating internal hydrostatic pressure up to 4,000 PSI that fractures copper and PEX pipes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I thaw a frozen pipe myself with a blowtorch?
No. Never use an open flame blowtorch, propane heater, or charcoal burner to thaw frozen pipes. Open flames ignite dry wood studs, framing, and insulation inside wall cavities. Instead, keep faucets cracked open and use gentle heat sources like a hair dryer, or call a professional.
Why do pipes burst when they freeze?
Pipes do not burst primarily where the ice forms, but downstream between the ice blockage and a closed faucet. As water freezes, it expands by 9% in volume. This expansion pushes trapped liquid water into an enclosed space, driving hydrostatic pressure past 3,000 PSI until the pipe wall splits.
