Frozen pipes are most common in crawlspaces, exterior walls, unheated garages and along the north side of the house. We thaw them the right way — never with an open flame — repair any pipe that has already burst, and insulate or re-route the vulnerable run so you are not back here next January.
- Safe thawing — no torches, no burst risk
- 24/7 response during cold snaps
- Repair of pipes that already split
- Insulation and prevention
Signs of a Frozen Pipe
- Little or no water from a faucet during a freeze
- Frost or bulging visible on an exposed pipe
- Gurgling or clanking when you run water
- A whistling sound from a pressurized, restricted line
- One fixture (often on an exterior wall) with no flow while others work
- A sudden leak when the weather warms and the ice thaws

Safe Thawing and Repair
Never use a torch or open flame to thaw a pipe — it can burst the pipe or start a fire. We locate the frozen section, apply controlled heat safely, and monitor the line as it thaws so we catch a split the moment water returns. If a pipe has already burst, we shut off the water and repair or replace the damaged section.
- Open the affected faucet slightly to relieve pressure
- Keep an open flame away from the pipe
- Know where your main shutoff is in case it bursts on thaw
- Call (831) 290-4327 for safe, 24/7 thawing
Prevention That Actually Works
After the emergency, we address the cause: insulating exposed pipes, sealing drafts near vulnerable runs, adding heat tape where appropriate, and re-routing chronically freezing lines. We will also show you which faucets to drip and which shutoffs to close before the next deep freeze.
What Our Frozen Pipe Service Includes
A frozen pipe is a burst pipe waiting to happen, so we do two things: thaw it safely and make sure it does not split — or fix it if it already has. We locate the frozen section, apply controlled heat while watching for cracks, repair any burst, and then treat the cause so the same run does not freeze again next cold snap.
- Location of the frozen section without guesswork
- Safe, controlled thawing — never an open flame
- Repair or replacement of any pipe that split on thaw
- Insulation, heat tape or re-routing of the vulnerable run
- Guidance on which faucets to drip and shutoffs to know
Our Frozen Pipe Process, Step by Step
Thawing a pipe the wrong way starts fires and bursts. Here is the safe sequence we follow.
- 1. Locate — find the frozen section and open the affected faucet to relieve pressure
- 2. Prepare — keep your main shutoff within reach in case it bursts on thaw
- 3. Thaw — apply even, controlled heat and monitor the pipe as water returns
- 4. Inspect & repair — check for splits and replace any damaged section
- 5. Prevent — insulate, add heat tape, or re-route the run that keeps freezing
