You can attempt to thaw frozen pipes yourself using safe methods like hair dryers, space heaters, or heating pads, but never use open flames, propane torches, or excessive heat that could damage pipes or create fire hazards.
However, if you suspect the pipe has already burst, or if you can’t locate the frozen section, it’s best to call us immediately. Burst pipes can cause thousands of dollars in water damage within minutes.
We recommend calling professionals when dealing with pipes in hard-to-reach areas, when you’re not comfortable working with electrical appliances near water, or when you’ve tried thawing methods without success. Our experience helps us locate problems quickly and avoid costly mistakes.
