How can I tell if a pipe is frozen?

Signs of a frozen pipe include little or no water coming from a faucet, visible frost on exposed pipes, unusual odors from a drain, or strange noises when you turn on the water. If you suspect a frozen pipe, turn off the water supply and call a plumber before the pipe cracks.

What should I do if a pipe bursts in my home?

Shut off your home's main water supply as quickly as possible, then turn off electricity to any affected areas if it is safe to do so. Move belongings away from the water and contact Z Plumberz for emergency plumbing service right away to limit damage.

Can you thaw a frozen pipe without damaging it?

Yes. One of our plumbers can locate the frozen section and use safe methods to thaw it gradually. Avoid using an open flame or other high-heat device, as this can damage the pipe or create a fire hazard.

Why do pipes burst after freezing?

Water expands as it freezes, creating pressure inside the pipe. That pressure can cause the pipe to crack or split. In some cases, the damage may not become noticeable until the ice begins to thaw and water starts leaking.

How can I help prevent my pipes from freezing?

Insulate exposed pipes, seal drafts near plumbing lines, disconnect outdoor hoses, and keep your home at a consistent temperature during cold weather. Letting vulnerable faucets drip slightly may also help keep water moving when temperatures drop.
