The Problem
Common issues homeowners face with this service.
Frozen pipes burst and flood homes
When water freezes, it expands, cracking or bursting pipes and causing catastrophic flooding when they thaw.
No water disrupts daily life
Frozen pipes block water flow completely, leaving you without water for drinking, cooking, or cleaning.
Thawing requires expertise
Improper thawing can cause pipes to burst or create safety hazards. Professional methods are safer and more effective.
Prevention is often overlooked
Many homeowners don't realize pipes are at risk until they freeze, missing opportunities to prevent problems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about frozen pipes.
What should I do if my pipes are frozen?
Keep faucets open slightly, apply gentle heat to exposed pipes if safe, and call us immediately at 403-477-0933. Don't use open flames or excessive heat, which can cause pipes to burst.
How quickly can you thaw frozen pipes?
We respond immediately to frozen pipe emergencies. Thawing time depends on pipe location and extent of freezing, but we work quickly to restore water flow and prevent bursting.
Will thawing cause my pipes to burst?
If pipes haven't already cracked from freezing, professional thawing is safe. We inspect pipes after thawing and make repairs if needed. The risk of bursting is much higher if pipes remain frozen.
How can I prevent pipes from freezing?
Insulate pipes in unheated areas, keep heat on during cold weather, let faucets drip during extreme cold, and seal air leaks near pipes. We can help assess your home's risks and recommend prevention.
Do you repair pipes that have already burst?
Yes, if pipes have burst, we repair them immediately to stop water flow and prevent further damage. We'll restore water service and make permanent repairs.
