How can I fix a frozen pipe safely without causing damage?
Open the nearest faucet and wait for pipes to thaw. Do NOT leave faucet unattended. If the pipe has split or water appears, shut off the main and call for 24/7 help. We handle repairs, leak detection, and can add LeakSmart automatic shutoff valves to limit damage.
- Heat from the faucet toward the ice.
- Keep the area warm and watch for leaks.
