We Know Pocket Homes

We’ve been solving plumbing emergencies with the kind of response time and transparent service that Pocket residents expect.

Frozen Pipe Thawing Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we shut off your water supply to prevent flooding if a pipe has already burst. Then we locate the frozen section using professional equipment—no guesswork, no unnecessary damage to your walls. We use controlled heat application to safely thaw the ice blockage. This isn’t a hair dryer job; we use professional-grade thawing equipment that warms the pipe evenly without causing thermal shock that leads to cracks. Once water flows normally, we test the entire system for damage and check vulnerable areas that might freeze again. You’ll know exactly what we found, what we fixed, and what to watch for.

What You Actually Get

Our frozen pipe service includes immediate response to stop ongoing damage, professional thawing using controlled heating methods, and complete system testing to ensure everything works properly. In Pocket’s Mediterranean climate, frozen pipes typically happen during those rare cold snaps when temperatures drop into the 20s. The homes built in the 70s, 80s, and 90s that make up much of Pocket weren’t always designed for extreme cold, which means exposed pipes in garages, crawl spaces, or exterior walls are vulnerable. We know which areas of Pocket homes freeze first and how to prevent it from happening again. You get the repair, the prevention advice, and the peace of mind that comes from working with plumbers who understand your neighborhood.

How quickly can you respond to frozen pipes in Pocket?

We provide 24/7 emergency service throughout Pocket, typically responding within 30-60 minutes of your call. Frozen pipes can burst in just 4-5 hours once temperatures drop below 20°F, so speed matters. Our trucks stay stocked with thawing equipment and repair materials, which means we can often resolve the issue in one trip. We understand that Pocket residents need their plumbing working—especially when you have work meetings or family schedules that can’t wait for a plumber who might show up “sometime today.”

What's the real cost to fix frozen pipes?

Simple thawing typically costs $100-200 if we catch it before pipes burst. If pipes have already burst, repairs range from $150-500 depending on location and damage extent. We give you the exact price upfront—no diagnostic fees, no surprises. Many of our Pocket customers tell us our final bill came in lower than the original estimate because we work efficiently and don’t pad the job. You’ll know what you’re paying before we start, and that’s what you’ll pay when we’re done.

How do I know if my pipes are actually frozen?

No water from faucets is the obvious sign, but there are others. You might hear unusual sounds from pipes, smell odd odors from drains, or see frost on visible pipes in your garage or crawl space. In Pocket homes, check pipes in unheated areas first—garages, exterior walls, or crawl spaces. If only one faucet isn’t working, the freeze is probably localized. If multiple fixtures have no water, you’re looking at a main line issue that needs immediate attention to prevent bursting.

Can frozen pipes thaw on their own safely?

Sometimes, but it’s risky. As ice melts, pressure builds up behind the blockage. If there’s any weakness in the pipe—and there often is after freezing—that pressure can cause a burst when you’re not home to catch it. Professional thawing controls the process and relieves pressure safely. We also check for damage that might not show up until later. It’s the difference between hoping for the best and knowing your pipes are actually okay. Given what water damage costs in Pocket homes, professional service is usually the smart move.

Will my homeowner's insurance cover frozen pipe damage?

Most policies cover sudden pipe bursts from freezing, including water damage cleanup. They typically won’t cover damage from neglect—like leaving your heat off during vacation—but weather-related freezing is usually covered. We work with insurance adjusters regularly and can provide the documentation they need for your claim. The key is acting quickly to minimize damage. Insurance companies prefer to pay for professional pipe repair rather than extensive water damage restoration, so calling us immediately often works in everyone’s favor.

How can I prevent pipes from freezing again?

Insulate pipes in unheated areas, keep cabinet doors open during cold snaps to let warm air circulate, and let faucets drip slightly when temperatures drop below freezing. For Pocket homes, pay special attention to pipes in garages and along exterior walls. We’ll identify your most vulnerable areas during our service call and give you specific recommendations for your home’s layout. Simple prevention steps cost much less than emergency repairs, and they give you confidence during those occasional Sacramento Valley cold snaps that catch everyone off guard.
