How can I fix a frozen pipe safely without causing damage?
To safely thaw a frozen pipe, shut off your main water valve, then warm the pipe slowly with a hair dryer or space heater. Open nearby faucets to relieve pressure and stop if you hear cracking or see bulging. Summers provides 24-hour frozen pipe repair and modern, non-invasive locating in Brownsburg, Indianapolis, and nearby.
- Open cabinet doors to circulate warm air.
- Wrap the pipe with towels warmed in hot water.
- Never use a torch or open flame.
