Can pipes really freeze in Sacramento's mild climate?

Absolutely. While Sacramento’s winters are generally mild, we regularly see frozen pipes during cold snaps when temperatures drop below 20 degrees for several hours. Your pipes are most vulnerable in unheated areas like basements, crawlspaces, garages, and along exterior walls. Even a few hours of freezing temperatures can turn standing water in your pipes into ice, creating pressure that can burst the pipe. Many Upper Land Park homes built in the 1920s through 1950s have plumbing in these vulnerable locations. The key is that it doesn’t take prolonged freezing – just one cold night while you’re sleeping can create a plumbing emergency by morning.
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.
We offer 24/7 emergency service and typically respond within hours, not days. We understand that frozen pipes are time-sensitive – the longer they stay frozen, the higher the risk of bursting and causing serious water damage. Our emergency response includes immediate water shutoff guidance over the phone, priority scheduling, and same-day service when possible. We keep our trucks stocked with common repair parts so we can often complete repairs during the first visit. For Upper Land Park residents, we’re familiar with the area and can navigate to your home quickly. We also provide clear communication about arrival times and what to expect, so you’re not left wondering when help will arrive.
Our pricing depends on the extent of the problem, but we always provide upfront estimates before starting work. Simple thawing services start at our standard service call rate, while pipe replacement costs depend on the location and length of pipe involved. What’s important to understand is that frozen pipe repair is almost always much less expensive than dealing with water damage from burst pipes. We’ve seen burst pipes cause thousands of dollars in damage to floors, walls, and personal belongings. We also offer a 15% discount for new customers and provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges. Many customers are pleasantly surprised when their final bill is actually less than our initial estimate.
Absolutely. Prevention is much easier and cheaper than dealing with frozen pipe emergencies. We provide pipe insulation services, exterior faucet winterization, and system upgrades that protect your plumbing during cold weather. For Upper Land Park’s older homes, we often recommend insulating exposed pipes in basements and crawlspaces, installing frost-proof exterior faucets, and ensuring proper heat circulation in vulnerable areas. Simple foam insulation around exposed pipes is surprisingly effective and affordable. We also provide Sacramento-specific winterization advice, like keeping cabinet doors open during cold snaps to allow warm air circulation, and setting thermostats to maintain at least 55 degrees even when you’re away from home.
