Expert Frozen Pipe Repair in Prescott Valley

If you suspect frozen pipes, turn on the affected faucet slightly to relieve pressure and avoid using open flames or high-heat devices to thaw them yourself. Frozen pipes are at risk of bursting, especially as they begin to thaw. Your safest next step is to call a licensed plumber who can safely locate and thaw the pipe while checking for hidden damage.

Yes. Pipes often burst after they begin to thaw, not while they’re frozen. Ice creates pressure inside the pipe, and once the ice melts, that pressure can cause cracks or full breaks. This is why professional frozen pipe repair and inspection are so important, even if you don’t see an active leak.

Pipes located in unheated or exposed areas are the most vulnerable. This includes pipes in crawl spaces, garages, exterior walls, basements, and outdoor hose bibs. Homes in higher elevations across Yavapai and Coconino Counties are especially at risk during prolonged cold snaps.

The repair time depends on the severity of the issue. Simple pipe thawing may take an hour or less, while burst pipe repairs can take longer if drywall, insulation, or multiple sections of pipe are affected. Our team works efficiently to restore your plumbing as quickly and safely as possible.

Preventing frozen pipes starts with proper insulation and winterization. This includes insulating exposed pipes, sealing air leaks, keeping cabinets open near plumbing, and maintaining consistent indoor temperatures. We also offer professional winterization services to help protect your plumbing system before cold weather arrives.
