How can I fix a frozen pipe safely without causing damage?

Warm a frozen pipe slowly and avoid open flames or high-heat tools. Increase the room temperature, expose the pipe, and open nearby faucets to relieve pressure. If you notice bulging, a crack, or water leaking, stop and call for 24/7 emergency help. Our plumbers handle leak detection, pipe repair or replacement, and cleanup with upfront pricing and prompt diagnostics.

Quick checks:

• Open a faucet to relieve pressure.
• Gently warm the area with ambient heat.
• Stop if you see damage and call for service.
