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

Start by turning off your main water valve and opening the nearest faucet to relieve pressure. Warm the pipe slowly with safe, indirect heat. Do not use an open flame. As the ice melts, watch for leaks. If you see a split pipe or active dripping, keep water off and call a plumber. We offer same-day service, or your service fee is free.

Quick steps:

• Shut off water.
• Open faucet.
• Apply gentle heat (hair dryer, heating pad, warm towels).
• Check for leaks and damage.
