First, turn off your main water supply immediately. This prevents flooding if the pipe has already cracked but the ice is still blocking the water flow.
Next, check for visible damage like bulging, cracks, or frost around pipes. If you see damage, call us right away and keep your water turned off. If there’s no visible damage, you can try gently warming the area with a hair dryer or space heater – never use an open flame or torch.
Keep a faucet open near the suspected frozen area so you’ll know when water starts flowing again. But honestly, if you’re dealing with frozen pipes, it’s worth calling professionals who can thaw them safely and check for hidden damage.
