When your pipes freeze in Tahoe Park, every minute counts. You’re not just dealing with no water—you’re racing against a potential burst that could flood your home and cost thousands in damage.
We get there fast and fix it right. Your water starts flowing again, the immediate crisis ends, and you avoid the nightmare of extensive water damage, mold growth, and structural repairs that come with burst pipes.
You’ll have hot showers again, your daily routine gets back to normal, and you can stop worrying about whether this small problem is about to become a massive, expensive disaster.
We’ve been handling Sacramento area frozen pipe emergencies for over two decades. We know exactly what Tahoe Park winters can do to your plumbing.
Our 5-star reputation comes from showing up when we say we will, fixing the problem completely the first time, and charging exactly what we quoted—no surprise fees or diagnostic charges that other companies tack on.
We’re the small, locally-owned company that Tahoe Park homeowners call when they need someone who actually cares about getting it right, not just getting paid.
First, we locate your main water shutoff and assess the extent of the freeze. We use professional-grade thawing equipment—never open flames or risky methods that could damage your pipes or start a fire.
We carefully thaw the affected sections while monitoring for any signs of cracking or bursting. If we find damage, we’ll show you exactly what needs repair and give you a clear, upfront price before doing any work.
Once everything’s flowing properly, we test the entire system to make sure there aren’t other vulnerable areas. We’ll also walk you through simple prevention steps so this doesn’t happen again next winter.

Our frozen pipe service includes emergency thawing, burst pipe repair, and complete system inspection. We handle everything from simple frozen faucets to major pipe ruptures that require replacement sections.
Tahoe Park’s winter temperatures regularly drop below freezing, especially during those brutal cold snaps that catch homeowners off guard. Your pipes in unheated areas—garages, crawl spaces, exterior walls—are particularly vulnerable.
We carry all the materials needed for immediate repairs, so you’re not waiting days for parts while dealing with no water or ongoing leaks. Plus, we document everything with photos so you have clear records for insurance claims if needed.
We typically respond to frozen pipe emergencies in Tahoe Park within 1-2 hours, depending on current demand and weather conditions. During severe cold snaps when multiple homes are affected, we prioritize based on urgency—burst pipes get immediate attention.
We keep our response times fast because we know frozen pipes can burst without warning. Every hour you wait increases the risk of a rupture that could flood your home and cause thousands in water damage.
When you call, we’ll give you an honest timeframe and keep you updated if anything changes. No leaving you wondering when help will arrive.
First, turn on the affected faucets slightly—if water trickles out, that’s good. If nothing comes out, don’t panic, but call us immediately. Locate your main water shutoff valve in case you need it quickly.
Never use open flames, torches, or high-heat devices to thaw pipes. These can cause fires or make pipes burst from rapid temperature changes. Hair dryers on low heat are okay for exposed pipes, but keep them away from water.
If you see any bulging, cracking, or frost on visible pipes, or if you notice water stains on walls or ceilings, shut off your main water supply right away and call us for emergency service.
Simple thawing services typically run $100-$200 for straightforward cases. If pipes have burst and need repair or replacement, costs range from $150-$400 depending on the location and extent of damage.
Emergency service calls during nights, weekends, or holidays may include additional fees, but we’ll tell you the exact cost upfront before starting any work. No surprise charges or diagnostic fees that get tacked on later.
The real savings come from calling us quickly. A $150 thawing service beats a $5,000 water damage restoration bill every time. We’d rather fix your problem cheaply than profit from your disaster.
Sometimes, but it’s a dangerous gamble. Pipes can thaw naturally when temperatures rise, but the freeze-thaw cycle often weakens the pipe material, making future bursts more likely. Plus, you never know if damage has already occurred inside the pipe.
The biggest risk is when pipes thaw unevenly. Water trapped between ice and a closed faucet creates pressure that can cause ruptures even after the pipe starts flowing again. This is why many burst pipe calls happen during the thaw, not during the freeze.
Professional thawing ensures the process happens safely and gives us a chance to inspect for any damage before it becomes a major problem. It’s cheap insurance against a potential disaster.
Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden pipe bursts and resulting water damage, but they typically won’t cover the actual pipe repair costs. Coverage depends on whether the freeze was due to a sudden temperature drop or negligence like leaving your heat off.
The key is acting quickly when pipes freeze. Insurance companies look more favorably on claims where homeowners took immediate action to minimize damage. Waiting and letting pipes burst often complicates coverage.
We document everything with photos and detailed reports that help with insurance claims. Many of our customers get their water damage restoration costs covered, even if they pay out of pocket for the actual pipe repair.
Insulate any exposed pipes in unheated areas like garages, crawl spaces, and along exterior walls. Foam pipe insulation costs about $1 per foot and can prevent thousands in damage. Keep cabinet doors open under sinks during cold snaps to let warm air circulate.
Set your thermostat no lower than 55°F, even when you’re away. Tahoe Park’s winter temperatures can drop into the 20s, and pipes can freeze in just a few hours in unheated spaces. Let faucets drip slightly during extreme cold—moving water doesn’t freeze as easily.
Know where your main water shutoff is and make sure everyone in your family knows too. When pipes do freeze, quick action makes the difference between a minor inconvenience and a major disaster.
