Don’t Let Frozen Pipes Leave You in the Cold – We’re Here to Help!
When winter rears its head, it’s time to bust out the coats and blankets. With the temperatures dropping, it’s nice to cozy-up in your home, but the cold can leave you at potential risk. Freezing temperatures means one thing for your plumbing: frozen pipes. This is a serious problem that could cause your pipe work to burst. Those problems are only the tip of the iceberg, as frozen pipes also interrupt your everyday plumbing use. No consistent flow means less usable water.
When you’re left in the cold, it’s time to call the professional plumbers at Sunny Service. We provide the needed expertise to swiftly resolve these crucial plumbing emergencies. Our repairs and thawing services not only prevent the potential costly damage that frozen piping brings but also restore your piping to its original functionality. With a Sunny Service plumber, the only thing you have to worry about this winter is finding the comfiest blanket.
What Causes Frozen Pipes?
Your pipes are most likely to freeze when the weather becomes extremely cold. The dropping temperatures will freeze the water inside, creating expanding ice. Other circumstances include poor insulation for the pipes, which leaves the pipework vulnerable to sudden cold snaps.
One final condition is that the pipework is exposed to outside elements, such as drafts or unheated spaces, which can lead to dropping temperatures and freezing pipes.
The common areas where pipes typically freeze are areas such as your basement or crawl spaces. Another common spot is outside, leaving it vulnerable to the elements.
Risks of Ignoring Frozen Pipes
Frozen pipes are not something to leave to thaw by themselves. When the water inside is frozen, the pressure only increases, risking a burst. This not only damages the pipework but also leads to costly property damage.
A burst pipe can lead to expensive repair bills to restore your plumbing, and the sudden leak results in wasted water, which can drive up your utility costs. Beyond the financial implications, it can significantly disrupt your daily life. For instance, a frozen drain pipe can obstruct vital access to drainage. Without proper water flow in your pipes, your daily water usage will be severely impacted.

- Consistent Heating – Keep your home or business heated consistently, as the warm temperature will stop the pipes from beginning to freeze.Â
- Insulating Pipes – Any pipes in vulnerable areas should be given the necessary insulation so that the temperature can stay warm.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I suspect a frozen pipe?
First, immediately shut your water off and slightly open any faucets to relieve building pressure. If your frozen pipes are visible or exposed, use a heating item like a space heater to begin thawing the ice blockages.
Finally examine your exposed pipes for any potential leaks which will reveal themselves after enough pressure is present. If you are not comfortable with this, contact a professional plumber from Sunny Service.
Can frozen pipes thaw on their own?
Frozen pipes can take anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks to completely thaw out. Leaving your pipes alone is not recommended as the pressure inside them continues building, potentially leading to a burst occurring.
How long does pipe thawing and repair typically take?
Our plumbers utilize electric current thawing processes which can restore full functionality to the frozen pipe within just a few minutes.
Will my homeowners’ insurance cover the cost of burst pipe repairs?
Any accidental water damage that comes from the sudden burst pipe is typically covered by your homeowner’s insurance. This would also cover repairing or replacing water-damaged wood flooring, furniture, and even drywall.
Insurance may not cover a burst pipe if the leak or other issue was known yet ignored by the homeowner.
