Frozen Water Pipe Solutions

Complete Frozen Pipe Services Included

Your service covers everything from initial diagnosis through final testing and prevention planning. This includes safe pipe thawing, burst pipe repair or replacement, water damage assessment, and system pressure testing. New Era Park’s climate means frozen pipes usually happen during those unexpected cold snaps when temperatures drop suddenly overnight. The service includes specific recommendations for your property’s vulnerable areas—like exterior walls, crawl spaces, or unheated areas where pipes are most likely to freeze again. You also get clear documentation of all work performed, which helps with insurance claims and gives you a record for future maintenance planning.

How quickly can you respond to frozen pipe emergencies in New Era Park?

Most frozen pipe calls in New Era Park get same-day service, often within a few hours depending on the time of day and current demand. Emergency calls get priority scheduling, especially when there’s risk of pipes bursting or water damage. The response time depends partly on your specific location within New Era Park and current weather conditions affecting travel. During major cold snaps when multiple properties are affected, we prioritize based on severity—burst pipes and active flooding get immediate attention. When you call, you’ll get an honest estimate of arrival time based on current conditions, not a generic promise we can’t keep.

What's the typical cost range for frozen pipe repair services?

Simple frozen pipe thawing typically runs $150-$300, while burst pipe repairs range from $300-$800 depending on location and extent of damage. Complex jobs involving multiple burst pipes or wall access can cost more, but you’ll know the price before work begins. The final cost often depends on how many pipes are affected, whether they’ve burst, and how accessible they are. Pipes in walls or under concrete slabs cost more to access and repair than those in basements or crawl spaces. Murray Plumbing provides upfront pricing after assessing the situation, so you can make an informed decision without surprise charges later.

Can frozen pipes be prevented, and what causes them in California?

Yes, frozen pipes can be prevented with proper insulation, especially around exterior walls and in unheated spaces like garages or crawl spaces. In California, pipes freeze during sudden cold snaps when temperatures drop below 32°F, particularly overnight. The most vulnerable pipes are those in exterior walls, unheated basements, crawl spaces, and garages. Even in California’s mild climate, a few hours below freezing can cause problems, especially if pipes aren’t properly insulated or if there are gaps in your home’s insulation. Simple prevention includes insulating exposed pipes, sealing air leaks around pipes, and letting faucets drip slightly during freezing weather to keep water moving through the system.

Will my homeowner's insurance cover frozen pipe damage?

Most homeowner’s insurance policies cover sudden water damage from burst pipes, but not gradual damage or the cost of accessing pipes for repair. Coverage typically includes water damage to floors, walls, and belongings, but not the actual pipe repair costs. The key factor is whether the damage was “sudden and accidental”—burst pipes usually qualify, but slow leaks or damage from lack of maintenance typically don’t. Insurance may not cover damage if they determine the home was left unheated or proper precautions weren’t taken. We provide detailed documentation of all work performed, including photos and repair descriptions that help support insurance claims when coverage applies.

How do you thaw frozen pipes without damaging them?

Professional pipe thawing uses controlled heat application—never open flames or excessive heat that can damage pipes or create safety hazards. The process typically involves electric heating pads, hair dryers, or specialized thawing equipment applied gradually to the frozen section. The goal is raising the pipe temperature slowly and evenly to prevent thermal shock that could crack or burst the pipe. Starting from the faucet end and working toward the frozen section helps water flow as ice melts, reducing pressure buildup. DIY methods like blowtorches or space heaters placed too close to pipes often cause more damage than the original freezing. Professional equipment and experience prevent costly mistakes that turn a simple thaw into major repairs.

What should I do immediately when I discover frozen pipes?

Turn off the main water supply immediately to prevent flooding if pipes burst, then call for professional help. Don’t use open flames, blowtorches, or other high-heat sources that can damage pipes or create fire hazards. You can try gently warming the area with a hair dryer or heating pad while waiting for help, but avoid excessive heat and never leave heating devices unattended. Open faucets connected to frozen pipes to allow water to flow once thawing begins. If you see bulging or cracks in pipes, or if water is already leaking, don’t attempt DIY repairs—shut off water and electricity to affected areas if there’s any risk of water contacting electrical outlets or fixtures.
