Frozen icy down pipe, icicles

Frozen Pipe Repair

Freezing weather can cause water in your pipes to expand, blocking the line, and excessive pressure can burst the pipes. Whether you have steel, plastic, or copper piping, a single crack can release 250 gallons of water that damage your flooring, walls, and personal belongings.

With our frozen pipe repair service, we will arrive quickly, use professional pipe-thawing equipment, efficiently remove excess water, and dry your home.

Signs Your Pipes Might Be Frozen

Signs that you need a professional plumber include:

  • Changes to your outside pipes: You see bulges, condensation, and frost on your outside pipes.
  • Strange noises: You might hear clanging noise or a gurgling sound.
  • Low water supply: If you have little to no water, ice is likely blocking the pipes.

Speak to a plumber to request water pressure repair in Chicago by calling ABC at 888-868-6667.

Burst Pipe Repair Service

Burst pipes can release 10 gallons of water a minute and cause significant damage. However, contact us for efficient burst pipe repair service.

Our vehicles are fully packed, and most repairs only take a few hours, depending on the pipe’s location. Homes built before 1986 have lead or cast-iron pipes. For other materials, our plumbers might need to add a new section of pipe.

Piping materials include PVC, polypropylene, copper, galvanized steel, fiberglass, and cast iron. Hence, rates and repair times vary based on how many feet need repairing and the material.

Consider it done! Contact ABC at 888-868-6667 to schedule a burst pipe service in Chicago.

Burst water pipe, still dripping

Ways To Prevent Burst and Frozen Pipes

Preventative steps can prevent frozen or burst pipes include:

  • Insulate your crawl space, attic, basement, and water supply lines
  • Drain and remove your hose and sprinkler and drain your pool, but never add antifreeze, which is toxic to pets
  • Let the sink drip slowly — close the inside valves but leave the outside ones open
  • Shut the garage door
  • Open the bathroom and kitchen cabinets, and remove toxic chemicals if you have children or pets
  • When you are away, leave the thermostat at 55 degrees, and don’t lower the temperature in the evening

FAQs

Can a burst pipe cause warped wood?

Yes, as the water can seep into wood items, floorboards, and cabinetry and even cause your floorboards to separate from the subflooring.

Is a blow dryer safe to thaw your pipes with?

No, and you never want to use a gas, kerosene, propane heater, blowtorch, or other open flame that can present a fire hazard. Instead, call a local plumber and request emergency service.
