What to Do Right Now if Your Pipes Are Frozen or Burst

Frozen or burst water pipes can cause big problems fast. If you’re in this situation, follow these steps to reduce damage and get the help you need:

1. Shut Off the Main Water Supply
   • Find your home’s main water shutoff valve (usually near where the water line enters the house).
   • Turn it off right away to stop more water from flowing if pipes are leaking or burst.
   • Call the local water utility department if you’re having trouble finding the water shut off.
2. Check for Leaks or Flooding
   • Look around your home (especially basements, crawl spaces, and under sinks) for any signs of water pooling.
   • If you see a large leak, try to contain it with buckets or towels until professional help arrives.
3. Call a Professional Plumber
   • Contact a trusted, licensed plumber like Staggs Plumbing as soon as you can.
   • Frozen pipes can thaw and burst without warning, so professional care is the safest route.
4. Remove Standing Water Quickly
   • If you have puddles or pooling water, use mops, towels, or a wet/dry vacuum to remove it.
   • Standing water can lead to mold or cause further damage to floors and walls.
5. Use Gentle Heat for Frozen Pipes (If Not Burst)
   • If your pipes are just frozen (no leaks), open the faucet so water can trickle through as you apply heat.
   • Use a hair dryer, heating pad, or space heater set on low – but never use an open flame.
6. Keep Safety in Mind
   • Watch out for electrical cords or outlets near water.
   • If you’re unsure about any potential hazards, wait for professional help rather than risking injury.

By following these steps right away, you can reduce damage and get your plumbing back to normal sooner. If you’re unsure about any step or have severe flooding, call Staggs Plumbing at 972-833-8660 immediately.

Why Frozen Water Pipes Burst

Many people think pipes break because ice gets bigger inside them. But here’s what actually happens.

1. Water freezes inside the pipe.
2. When water turns to ice, it gets bigger.
3. This ice creates a block in the pipe.
4. The ice pushes the liquid water toward the closed faucet.
5. The water gets trapped between the ice and the faucet.
6. This creates very high pressure in the pipe.
7. The pipe breaks because of this pressure.
8. The pipe usually breaks in areas where there is no ice! It tends to break at its weakest point.

The ice itself doesn’t break the pipe. Instead, it’s the pressure from the trapped water that causes the break. This is why it’s so important to prevent pipes from freezing in the first place.

Our Frozen Pipe Process – What to Expect

At Staggs Plumbing, we follow five simple steps to fix your pipes and help to prevent any future problems:

1. First, we find where the pipe is frozen or broken. We’ll also check nearby rooms to make sure there aren’t any other leaks causing more water damage.
2. Next, our licensed plumbers use special tools to warm up the frozen pipe slowly and carefully. This helps to keep the pipe from breaking because of temperature changes.
3. The broken pipe gets fixed or replaced so we can get your water running again.
4. Once the pipe is fixed, we’ll check other water pipes for weak spots that could cause future problems.
5. Give you some tips to help prevent your water pipes from freezing again. For example adding pipe insulation or replacing old plumbing.

Our licensed plumbers work quickly and efficiently to fix your frozen pipes. We have over 30 years of experience. We get the job done, and we get it done right the first time. If you think you have a frozen pipe, call Staggs Plumbing right away. We’re here to help.

Tips to Stop Water Pipes From Freezing

Having frozen pipes is stressful and can be expensive to fix. Here are some tips to help avoid them freezing:

• Open Cabinet Doors. Let warm air reach pipes under sinks and near outside walls. This helps to stop ice from forming.
• Drip Your Faucets. By letting water trickle out of the tap, even if it’s only a small amount, can keep pipes from freezing. Moving water is harder to freeze.
• Insulate Pipes. Wrap pipes in areas that can get cold, such as basements, attics or garages. Insulation helps block cold air from freezing water lines.
• Seal Drafts. Openings around windows and doors lets warm air escape. If you fill those gaps with caulk or weatherstripping, it will help to keep out the cold air.

Hopefully, these tips can help you avoid frozen pipes this winter. If you have questions or need help, call Staggs Plumbing. We’re here when you need us most.
