What to Do If Your Pipes Freeze in Winter
During extremely cold weather in Massachusetts, pipes can freeze quickly—especially in uninsulated areas of the home.
Common signs of frozen pipes include:
No water coming from faucets
Frost visible on exposed pipes
Strange smells from drains
Steps to Take if You Suspect a Frozen Pipe
Turn on the faucet connected to the frozen pipe.
Apply gentle heat using a hair dryer or heating pad.
Never use an open flame or torch.
If the pipe bursts, turn off the main water shut-off valve immediately.
Frozen pipes can cause serious flooding and property damage if not handled quickly. Our licensed emergency Master plumber Justin Thompson can safely thaw pipes and inspect your system.
