First, we shut off your water to prevent flooding while we work. Then we locate the exact frozen section using professional equipment – no guesswork, no unnecessary property damage.
We apply controlled heat to safely thaw the blockage. No torches, no risky methods that could damage your pipes. Our specialized equipment is designed specifically for this work, and we monitor everything to prevent thermal shock.
Once water flows freely, we inspect the entire line for freeze damage. Small cracks get fixed immediately before they become major leaks. You get a complete report on what we found and what we repaired.

Our frozen pipe services cover emergency thawing, burst pipe repair, and preventive insulation. We handle immediate crises and long-term protection for Shingle Springs homes.
Shingle Springs winter temperatures in the high 30s put pipes in garages, crawl spaces, and exterior walls at serious risk. These are the vulnerable spots we focus on first, using our 24 years of local experience to identify problems before they become disasters.
Every service includes transparent pricing – the quote we give you is exactly what you pay. We also provide pipe insulation to prevent future freezing and 24/7 emergency response because frozen pipes don’t wait for business hours.
Absolutely. Shingle Springs winter temperatures regularly drop into the high 30s, which puts any pipes in unheated areas at serious risk. Your garage, crawl spaces, and exterior walls are the danger zones.
Water freezes at 32 degrees, but the real problem is that frozen water expands, creating pressure that cracks pipes even if they’re not completely solid ice. We’ve responded to dozens of frozen pipe emergencies in Shingle Springs, especially during those surprise cold snaps.
Don’t let California’s reputation fool you – we see frozen pipe damage every winter in El Dorado County. The key is acting fast when temperatures drop and calling professionals who know how to handle it properly.
Emergency pipe thawing runs $150-$300, depending on location and severity. If we catch it early and thaw without damage, you’re looking at the lower end.
But if pipes have already burst, costs jump dramatically – $150 to $250 per linear foot of damaged pipe, plus water damage cleanup that easily hits thousands. That’s why calling us at the first sign of trouble saves you serious money.
Our pricing is completely transparent. We tell you the exact cost upfront, and that’s what you pay. No surprise fees, no hidden charges, no games. The price we quote is the price you get.
We provide 24/7 emergency response and typically arrive within 1-2 hours. Time matters with frozen pipes because every hour increases the risk of bursting and major damage.
While we’re driving to you, we provide phone consultation to help shut off water and minimize damage. We arrive fully equipped for thawing, repairs, and immediate damage control.
Being locally based in El Dorado County means we’re never far from Shingle Springs homes. We don’t dispatch from Sacramento or other distant locations – we’re right here in your community when disaster strikes.
Turn off your main water supply immediately to prevent flooding if pipes burst during thawing. Then call us right away – don’t try DIY solutions with hair dryers, space heaters, or open flames that often cause more damage.
Keep faucets slightly open to allow flow once pipes thaw, which relieves pressure. If you see any cracks or leaks, don’t touch anything and wait for our professional assessment.
Never ignore frozen pipes hoping they’ll thaw naturally. Even if they do, the freeze-thaw cycle creates small cracks that become major leaks later. Professional inspection now prevents much bigger problems down the road.
Yes, and prevention is always cheaper than emergency repairs. We offer comprehensive pipe insulation and winterization services that identify vulnerable areas and protect them before cold weather hits.
Our preventive work includes insulating pipes in unheated spaces, sealing gaps that let cold air reach plumbing, and installing heat tape where needed. We also advise on maintaining proper heat during cold snaps.
Many customers schedule annual winterization in late fall for peace of mind through winter. It’s a small investment that prevents the stress and expense of frozen pipe emergencies when temperatures drop.
Most policies cover burst pipes and water damage, but not if damage results from negligence like failing to heat your home or ignoring maintenance. Insurance covers “sudden and accidental” bursts, not gradual leaks or poor upkeep.
The key is acting quickly when you discover frozen pipes and getting professional repair to prevent further damage. Waiting or attempting DIY fixes can jeopardize your coverage.
We work with insurance companies regularly and provide detailed documentation for your claim. Our transparent pricing and professional service help ensure smooth insurance processing, but always check your specific policy coverage and deductibles first.
