Burst & Frozen Pipe Repair in the Triangle, NC

Shut off the main water valve immediately, then open a faucet to relieve pressure. If there's any chance of electrical contact, turn off the power to affected areas. Move valuables away from the water and call us right away.

Yes. If a pipe is frozen but hasn't split, we can thaw it safely and check for damage. Never use an open flame to thaw a pipe — it's a fire hazard and can damage the pipe. We use safe methods and inspect for cracks.

Pipes freeze where they're exposed to cold air — in crawlspaces, exterior walls, unheated basements, or where insulation is poor. Homes in the Triangle aren't always built for hard freezes, so vulnerable pipes are common. We can insulate or reroute them.

We repair the break and then address the cause — usually by insulating the pipe, sealing cold-air gaps, or rerouting a vulnerable section. We'll explain what made it vulnerable and what to do to prevent a repeat.
