At Mr. Rooter Plumbing, our professional plumbing services, including those for a frozen pipe repair. Charleston, SC professional plumbers will follow the steps outlined below to ensure that a plumbing disaster is averted if your pipes are frozen. Our emergency plumbing repairs will:
- Assessment and Diagnosis: First, our plumbers will assess the situation, locate the frozen section of your pipes, and check for any signs of visible damage or leaks. This step includes determining the extent of the damage and what the potential risks might be.
- Thawing Process: Once we've identified the frozen section of the pipe, we'll begin a careful, gradual process of warming the pipe using professional-grade heating devices and a controlled application of heat. Your experienced plumber will carefully monitor the situation to prevent the pipe from bursting.
- Repair and Replacement Services: Once your pipe has been properly thawed out, we'll address any damage that occurred. Often, this means either patching damaged sections or, more than likely, replacing the damaged sections of pipe to ensure a long-lasting repair. Our plumbing repair services are experienced with a range of piping materials, including PVC, PEX, galvanized steel, and copper.
