Our frozen pipe repair service includes immediate response, professional thawing, and damage prevention. We arrive with specialized equipment designed for safe pipe thawing.

We also provide preventative advice specific to your home. Simple steps like letting faucets drip during extreme cold can prevent future freezing. We show you which pipes need attention and how to protect them.
We provide 24/7 emergency response for frozen pipes in Norridge, typically arriving within an hour of your call. Frozen pipes are true emergencies because they can burst without warning, causing extensive water damage.
Our trucks stay stocked with professional thawing equipment year-round. During winter weather, we position crews strategically around the Chicago area for faster response times.
The faster we respond, the better chance we have of thawing your pipes before they burst. Every minute counts when water is frozen solid in your lines.
Pipes freeze when Norridge temperatures drop below 32 degrees, especially in unheated areas like basements, crawl spaces, and exterior walls. Water expands when it freezes, creating pressure that can crack or burst pipes.
Older Norridge homes are particularly vulnerable because they often have pipes in uninsulated areas. Pipes closest to exterior walls or in unheated spaces freeze first.
Poor insulation, gaps in your home’s envelope, and pipes running through cold areas all increase freezing risk. Even small air leaks can expose pipes to freezing temperatures.
Never attempt to thaw frozen pipes with open flames, blowtorches, or high-heat devices. These methods can cause pipes to burst or create fire hazards in your home.
If you can access the frozen section safely, you can try gentle warming with a hair dryer or heating pad. But if pipes are inside walls or hard to reach, call professionals immediately.
Most frozen pipe situations require professional equipment and expertise. We can safely thaw pipes in walls, under slabs, or in tight spaces without causing damage.
Frozen pipe thawing typically costs much less than repairing burst pipe damage. Professional thawing prevents the thousands in water damage that burst pipes cause.
We provide upfront pricing before starting work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. Emergency service rates apply for after-hours calls, but preventing burst pipes saves money long-term.
The cost depends on pipe location, accessibility, and how extensively frozen your system is. Simple thawing jobs cost far less than replacing burst pipes and repairing water damage.
Shut off your main water supply immediately to prevent flooding if pipes burst. Then call us for emergency service while you take temporary measures.
Open faucets connected to frozen pipes to relieve pressure. This reduces the chance of bursting while we respond to your location.
Don’t ignore frozen pipes hoping they’ll thaw naturally. The longer water stays frozen, the higher the pressure builds. Professional thawing prevents disaster.
Keep your thermostat at 55 degrees minimum when you’re away, even during the day. Consistent heat prevents pipes in unheated areas from freezing.
Let faucets drip slowly during extreme cold snaps. Moving water is much harder to freeze than standing water in pipes.
Insulate pipes in crawl spaces, basements, and exterior walls. We can identify vulnerable pipes during our service call and recommend specific insulation solutions for your Norridge home.
