Frozen Pipes Repair

Along with the chilly fun of snowmen and sledding, winter brings with it the hassle of frozen pipes. Don't let burst pipes or frozen plumbing ruin your winter; call Absolute Home Comfort right now for all of your frozen pipe repair needs! Our professional plumbing staff is experienced at pipe thawing, burst pipe repair, and frozen pipe prevention.

Frozen Pipe Thawing

The best way to deal with frozen pipes to simply keep them from freezing in the first place, but if your pipes are already iced up, they need to be defrosted immediately. Waiting only increases the likelihood that your frozen pipe problem will develop into a burst pipe disaster! Absolute Home Comfort can help. Thawing frozen pipes takes specialized equipment like infrared lamps and heated plumbing tape. You may have heard that open flame is a good way to defrost pipes, but this old wives' tale is actually extremely dangerous; you're more likely to burn down your house than thaw out your plumbing! Pipe thawing is a job for professionals--the experienced team at Absolute Home Comfort can safely and efficiently defrost your frozen water pipes without the risk of fire. Call and let the Absolute Home Comfort experts thaw your pipes today!

Burst Pipe Repair

Frozen plumbing can lead to burst pipes if they aren't thawed in time. Whether you waited too long to defrost your plumbing or didn't realize it was frozen until it was too late, Absolute Home Comfort can repair your burst pipes and get your plumbing system working again rapidly. We'll identify the source of the leak and then repair or replace the broken section. With frozen pipes, the burst section is frequently too damaged to repair, but our plumbing vans are stocked with most standard pipes and parts, so we should be able to replace destroyed components on the spot.

Frozen Pipe Prevention

Absolute Home Comfort recommends two easy tricks to keep your pipes from freezing this winter. First, simply leave the faucet dripping. By allowing the water to trickle through the pipes, you're keeping it moving, and since moving water doesn't freeze as easily, your pipes will stay ice free. The second solution is also pretty basic: just keep your plumbing warm. If you have vulnerable pipes in exterior walls or unheated crawl spaces, install insulation or space heaters to keep them warm. With these two steps, hopefully you'll be able to keep your pipes unfrozen all winter. But if you do notice frost on the outside of your plumbing or a tap suddenly doesn't work, call Absolute Home Comfort right away. We'll evaluate your pipes and thaw them out if they have frozen over.
