Question 1

What To Do When the Pipes Are Frozen?

Accepted Answer

When pipes are frozen immediately locate the property's main water shut-off valve. After finding the main shut-off valve, attempt to thaw the pipes. Sometimes when pipes thaw, burst pipes will reveal themselves and you must be ready to shut off the water, or else you will create water damage.

Question 2

Will Frozen Pipes Thaw on Their Own?

Accepted Answer

Yes, frozen pipes will thaw out on their own. The problem with this approach to waiting for the pipes to thaw out is that you will not know if the freeze caused a burst pipe until it thaws. If you wait for the pipe to thaw out by itself, you might not be around to witness the thaw and a burst pipe revealing itself. If the thaw reveals a burst pipe and you are not around you will get water damage. The best thing to do when you get a frozen pipe is to call Rescue Plumbing to thaw your pipes and repair them if needed.

Question 3

How Do You Unfreeze Pipes Fast?

Accepted Answer

You unfreeze pipes with a pipe thawing machine. That is how a plumber can quickly thaw out pipes. Applying heat to the frozen pipe will eventually unfreeze it or you wait for the seasons to fix it on their own.

Question 4

Will a Frozen Pipe Always Burst?

Accepted Answer

No, a frozen pipe will not always burst. But if you have a frozen pipe you should prepare to experience a burst pipe. The best thing to do when you get a frozen pipe is to call Rescue Plumbing to thaw your pipes and repair them if needed.
