Frozen Pipe Repair Madison WI

Fast, Effective Solutions for Your Frozen Pipes

Whether the thermometer has plunged suddenly, or the cooler months have arrived and your plumbing is feeling the strain, frozen pipes can be an annoying problem. Not only can frozen pipes interrupt the water supply to your home or office, but there is also a good chance that they will fracture if they are not thawed appropriately.

Even if they do not break the first time around, repeated freeze/thaw cycles can cause progressive weakening that eventually results in a burst pipe. Fortunately, our expert plumbers can help! From top tips to help you avoid the problem of frozen pipes to a range of effective solutions should the worst happen, Arndt & Son Plumbing has the capacity to keep your pipes in great condition during the winter and beyond.

The Most Common Signs Your Pipes Might Be Frozen

Catching the signs of frozen or freezing pipes early is vital. Not only is it far cheaper to thaw a pipe than fix a burst one, it can prevent thousands of dollars worth of damages by preventing the pipe from bursting. 

Some key signs to look out for include:

  • Low water pressure throughout your home, or no running water at all
  • The temperature is below 32 degrees
  • You notice frost building up on pipes
  • Strange smells coming from faucets
  • Gurgling, clanging, or banging sounds coming from your pipes

Why Do Frozen Pipes Burst When They Thaw?

The main reason why frozen pipes burst when they thaw is because the frozen sections don't all thaw at once. This leaves sections of pipe packed with ice, which leaves sections of water creating increased pressure between it and the closed faucet. We highly recommend shutting of the main water valve in your home if you have frozen pipes to prevent this from happening.

How To Fix a Frozen Pipe

The best way to fix a frozen pipe is to stop it from freezing in the first place. When you know the cooler weather is approaching, our team suggests that you try some simple steps to help protect your pipes.

Steps to Protect Your Pipes From Freezing

These steps include:

  • Keep heating on to circulate warm water
  • Make sure you have appropriate pipe insulation
  • Leave your faucet trickling during the night to keep the water from freezing
  • Ensure someone can check your home for frozen pipes when you are away
  • If there's no one to check your pipes while you are away, leave your heat turned on and set to a temperature not lower than 55°
