When temperatures drop, the water inside your pipes can freeze. As water freezes, it expands, creating pressure within the pipe. This pressure can cause pipes to crack, burst, and leak, often resulting in flooding and costly damage to your home.
Frozen pipes are particularly common in homes with poor insulation or exposed pipes in attics, basements, and exterior walls. A burst pipe can lead to severe damage, including the need for full plumbing replacement.

Pipes freeze when temperatures drop below 32°F, especially in areas with poor insulation like attics, basements, or exterior walls. As water freezes, it expands and creates pressure that can cause pipes to crack or burst.
Look for signs such as low or no water flow, frost or ice on exposed pipes, strange clanking or banging noises from pipes, or visible cracks and bulges.
Call a professional immediately. Avoid using open flames or space heaters, as they can cause more damage. A licensed plumber will thaw the pipes safely and check for any damage.
Yes, when water freezes inside a pipe, it increases pressure and can cause the pipe to crack or burst, leading to flooding and water damage.
We use controlled heat methods like heat tape or heating pads to thaw frozen pipes. These methods are safer than using open flames or space heaters.
The repair time depends on the extent of the damage. Minor repairs may take a few hours, while more extensive work could take one to two days.
Insulate pipes in unheated areas, seal gaps in walls or around windows, and consider adding heating cables or foam insulation to vulnerable pipes. Regular maintenance also helps prevent freezing.
