How can I fix a frozen pipe safely without causing damage?
Turn off the water and open the nearest faucet, then gently warm the frozen section until flow returns. Do not use an open flame. If the pipe has split or you suspect a slab leak, shut the water and call us for 24/7 help in Dallas and nearby cities like Plano and Garland.
- Shut off the main or affected valve.
- Open hot and cold taps to relieve pressure.
- Warm the pipe with a hair dryer, heating pad, or space heater; keep heat moving.
- Protect the area with towels and restore water slowly while checking for leaks.
