We’ve been handling Curtis Park’s plumbing emergencies for years, including those unexpected cold snaps that catch homeowners off guard. We know Sacramento winters are usually mild, but when temperatures drop, pipes in older homes and exposed areas freeze fast.

With a 4.7-star Google rating from 93 reviews, Curtis Park residents trust us because we show up on time, fix things right, and often charge less than our original estimate.
First, we locate the frozen section using professional diagnostic equipment. No guesswork, no unnecessary pipe damage.
Next, we safely thaw your pipes using warm air techniques, starting from the faucet end and working toward the frozen area. We never use open flames or methods that could damage your plumbing or create safety hazards.
Finally, we test your entire system to make sure everything’s flowing properly and check for any damage that occurred during the freeze. If we find problems, we explain exactly what needs fixing and give you a clear price upfront.
You’ll know your pipes are working correctly before we leave, and we’ll show you how to prevent this from happening again.

Our frozen pipe services include emergency thawing, burst pipe repair, and prevention consultation. We handle everything from minor blockages to major pipe replacements.
Curtis Park’s older homes often have pipes in crawl spaces, exterior walls, and unheated areas that are vulnerable during cold weather. We know exactly where to look and how to protect these problem areas.
We also provide pipe insulation services and can show you simple steps to prevent future freezing. Sacramento might not get prolonged cold spells, but when temperatures drop into the 20s, even a few hours can cause serious problems.
Our emergency service covers the entire Curtis Park area, and we stock our trucks with everything needed for immediate repairs. No waiting for parts or return trips.
Pipes can start freezing at any temperature below 32°F, but the real risk begins when temperatures drop to 20°F or below for several hours. In Curtis Park, this typically happens during overnight cold snaps in December and January.
Your pipes are most vulnerable in unheated areas like garages, crawl spaces, and exterior walls. Even if your house feels warm, these areas can be 20-30 degrees colder than your thermostat reading.
The key is that Sacramento’s sudden temperature drops catch people off guard. One day it’s 50 degrees, the next morning it’s 18 degrees, and pipes that were fine yesterday are frozen solid.
Turn on your faucets right away. If only a trickle comes out or nothing at all, you likely have frozen pipes. Leave the faucets open – this relieves pressure and helps water flow once we get things thawed.
Don’t try to thaw pipes yourself with hair dryers, space heaters, or anything with an open flame. You could damage your plumbing or create a fire hazard. Professional thawing equipment is much safer and more effective.
Call us immediately, even if it’s the middle of the night. Frozen pipes can burst without warning, and a burst pipe can release 250 gallons of water per day. The sooner we get there, the less likely you’ll deal with expensive water damage.
Emergency frozen pipe thawing typically costs between $300-600, depending on the location and severity of the freeze. This includes diagnosis, professional thawing, and system testing.
If pipes have already burst, repair costs vary based on accessibility and damage extent. Simple pipe section replacement might run $200-400, while pipes behind walls or under slabs cost more due to the additional work required.
We always give you an upfront price before starting any work. No surprises, no hidden fees. Many of our customers find their final bill is actually less than our initial estimate because we work efficiently and don’t add unnecessary charges.
Absolutely. Most frozen pipe problems in Curtis Park are completely preventable with simple preparation. Insulate pipes in unheated areas, keep cabinet doors open under sinks during cold snaps, and maintain your thermostat at least 55°F even when you’re away.
Let faucets drip slightly when temperatures are forecast to drop below freezing. Moving water is much harder to freeze than standing water. Disconnect and drain outdoor hoses, and know where your main water shutoff is located.
Sacramento’s cold spells are usually short, so these precautions only need to be active a few days per year. We can show you exactly which areas of your home are most vulnerable and the most cost-effective ways to protect them.
We aim to reach Curtis Park customers within 60 minutes for true emergencies, and we’re available 24/7 including weekends and holidays. Our trucks are stocked and ready, and we have technicians positioned throughout the Sacramento area.
When you call, you’ll speak with a real person from our local office, not an answering service. We’ll ask a few quick questions to understand your situation and dispatch the right technician with the proper equipment.
Time matters with frozen pipes because the longer they stay frozen, the more likely they are to burst. We’ve built our reputation on fast response times, and Curtis Park customers know they can count on us to show up when we say we will.
Frozen pipes have ice blocking water flow, but the pipe itself is still intact. You’ll notice little to no water coming from faucets, but there’s no visible water damage. Professional thawing can usually solve this without major repairs.
Burst pipes happen when ice expansion creates too much pressure and actually cracks or splits the pipe. You’ll see water damage, wet spots on walls or ceilings, or water pooling where it shouldn’t be. This requires immediate pipe repair or replacement.
The tricky part is that pipes can freeze and burst hours later as ice melts and reveals the damage. That’s why we always inspect your entire system after thawing, not just restore water flow. We want to catch any damage before it becomes a bigger problem.
