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

Turn on the nearest faucet, then warm the frozen pipe slowly with a hair dryer or heating pad. Work from the faucet back toward the freeze. Do not use an open flame. If the pipe is bulging, leaking, or you can’t locate the freeze, shut off the water and call for help. We offer same-day and emergency service, and the diagnostic charge is waived with service.

Quick steps:

• Open faucet for pressure relief.
• Apply gentle heat; keep moving the heat source.
• Never use a torch.
• Shut off water if a leak appears.
