  • Frozen pipes occur when the water reaches freezing temperatures. The pressure inside a frozen pipe can build to over 3,000 psi. This pressure often causes the pipe to burst and flood the area. The most common reasons that pipes freeze and burst include the following:

    • Extreme Temperature – When the temperature around your pipes drops below freezing, the water inside starts to freeze and expand.
    • Poor Insulation – If your pipes don’t have adequate insulation, they’re at a higher risk of freezing.
    • Corrosion – Corroded and damaged pipes often have weak spots in the piping that make them more susceptible to bursting.

  • The most common indicator that your pipes may be frozen is visible ice buildup. Other common signs you may have frozen pipes include the following:

    • Low to No Water Flow – If you turn your faucet on and experience low to no water flow, there may be ice in the water line preventing normal water flow.
    • Strange Noises – Gurgling and bubbling sounds in your pipes often indicate air bubbles that form due to an ice blockage.
    • Low-Temperature Readings – When you place a thermometer near the suspected blocked areas, the temperature is typically much lower than room temperature.

Essential Frozen Pipe Repairs

If you notice signs of a frozen pipe, it’s vital to contact our professionals as soon as possible. A burst pipe can release four to eight gallons of water each minute. Even if you act quickly, a burst pipe can cause thousands of dollars of water damage. We recommend taking the following steps if your pipes are frozen:

  • Inspect exposed piping for any ice buildup.
  • Turn on the hot water of any plumbing fixtures that are located near the frozen lines.
  • Apply heat via a hair dryer, space heater, or heat lamp directly onto the frozen pipe.
  • Contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Mid-Michigan immediately.
