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.

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.

Don’t ignore frozen pipes hoping they’ll thaw naturally. The longer water stays frozen, the higher the pressure builds. Professional thawing prevents disaster.
