How can I fix a frozen pipe safely without causing damage?

You can safely thaw a frozen pipe by gently warming the pipe and relieving pressure. Avoid flames to prevent fire and pipe damage.

Quick steps:

  • Shut off water to the affected line.
  • Open nearby faucets to relieve pressure.
  • Warm the pipe from the faucet back using a hair dryer or warm towels.
  • Stop if you see cracks, bulges, or inaccessible sections. Summers provides pipe thawing and emergency plumbing in Peru, Logansport, and Wabash. We can locate issues with line detection/camera inspections and offer a free estimate after diagnosis.
