Time is critical with frozen pipes because the longer they stay frozen, the higher the risk of bursting. We prioritize emergency calls and dispatch the closest available technician to minimize response time and prevent costly water damage.
No, DIY pipe thawing is dangerous and often causes more damage than it prevents. Using hair dryers, space heaters, or open flames can cause pipes to burst from rapid temperature changes or create fire hazards.
Professional thawing uses controlled electrical current that gradually warms pipes from the inside out, preventing the pressure spikes that cause bursts. Our technicians have the training and equipment to thaw pipes safely without risking your home or family’s safety.
Oak Park’s harsh winters regularly drop temperatures below 32 degrees, which causes water in unprotected pipes to freeze and expand. Pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces, attics, and unheated basements are most vulnerable.
Older Oak Park homes often lack adequate insulation around plumbing, making them especially susceptible to freezing. Poor ventilation, drafts, and insufficient heating in certain areas of the home also contribute to the problem.
A single burst pipe can release up to 250 gallons of water per hour, quickly flooding floors, damaging walls, and destroying personal belongings. Water seeps into wood flooring, drywall, and cabinetry, often requiring extensive reconstruction.
The damage compounds rapidly – what starts as a small leak can become thousands of dollars in repairs within hours. That’s why immediate professional response is crucial when dealing with frozen pipes that are at risk of bursting.
Yes, proper insulation and preventative measures significantly reduce frozen pipe risk. Insulating pipes in crawl spaces, attics, and exterior walls provides the first line of defense against Oak Park’s freezing temperatures.
Other effective prevention methods include keeping cabinet doors open to allow warm air circulation, letting faucets drip slightly during extreme cold, and maintaining consistent heating throughout your home. We can assess your home’s vulnerable areas and recommend specific improvements.
