Frozen Pipe Thawing, Repair, and Prevention Services

Winterization is a great way to protect your plumbing system. We recommend annual inspection and maintenance services in the fall. Our team can prep your plumbing system, including adding insulation and replacing deteriorated insulation. If any of your pipes are particularly susceptible to freezing, we offer heat tape, heating cables, and other solutions. These measures will protect your pipes from freezing even during Seattle’s coldest nights.

If you suspect you have a frozen pipe, it’s critical to schedule our pipe thawing services in Seattle right away. Even if it’s the middle of the night, call us. We’ll dispatch a plumber right away and provide guidance that can help avoid damage until we arrive. Once we’re there, we’ll use safe, non-invasive techniques to melt the ice and get the water flowing again. We can also provide prevention, such as installing insulation and/or heat tape.

When water in a pipe freezes into ice, it expands. That expansion causes additional pressure that may eventually cause the pipe to rupture. If you’ve experienced a burst pipe, disable your water supply via the shut-off valve, and then call us immediately. In such scenarios, it’s typically necessary to remove the ruptured pipe and any failed components and replace them. We’ll also make sure that the rupture hasn’t caused damage anywhere else in your plumbing system.

FAQs

Here are several of the most common questions about repairing and preventing frozen pipes in Seattle. Contact us at your convenience with any further questions.

What should I do if my pipes freeze?
Open any and all faucets in the home that are frozen in order to relieve pressure within the system. Open cabinet doors below those faucets so that the home’s warm air can circulate better down there. Disable the water supply via the main shut-off valve. Then, call us to schedule one of our burst pipe plumbers in Seattle.
Can you repair burst pipes caused by freezing?
Yes, we offer many repair solutions for frozen and burst pipes. If the pipe hasn’t ruptured, we can save the pipe by safely thawing it. If the pipe has ruptured, we will replace all the damaged piping and connections. Note that frozen and burst pipes can cause damage to the plumbing system beyond just the immediate area.
How can I prevent my pipes from freezing in Seattle?
The best way is to schedule winterization for your home early in the fall, ahead of the colder weather. Our team can insulate pipes in unheated areas and near exterior walls. In some scenarios, it may be necessary to install heat tape or a heating cable to prevent freezing. On nights when you expect freezing temperatures, open under-sink cabinet doors for better air circulation.

We also have plumbers on call 24/7 for emergency frozen pipe repair throughout Seattle. Even if it’s a weekend or holiday, our team is here to help.

Garrett and Stephen came out and quickly and professionally replaced our 70-year-old sewer plumbing after it cracked. They worked super hard and ensured we had working plumbing each night and through the weekend. They finished and cleaned up and I would highly recommend them.

Chris was a very professional, knowledgeable, polite and patient plumber. They said he'd be here within the hour, he was here in 20 minutes. Pieces were missing from our brand new toilet to be installed, he was willing to take his lunch and allow us the time to run to Home Depot to exchange the toilet. Once we had all the parts, he installed it…
