Frozen and Burst Pipe Repair in Martinsburg, WVFrozen lines thawed, burst pipes fixed
A cold snap in the Eastern Panhandle finds every pipe on an outside wall, in a crawlspace or in an unheated garage. We thaw frozen lines safely and repair the pipes that split.
Signs a pipe has frozen or burst
- No water from one faucet on a cold morning
- Frost on a pipe you can see
- A bulge or a split in a pipe
- Water coming through a ceiling or wall
- Water pooling in a crawlspace
- An outside faucet that leaks inside the wall
If a pipe bursts, do this first
Shut off the main water valve where the line comes into the house. Turn off the water heater. Open a faucet on the lowest floor to drain what is left in the pipes. Then call us, any hour. Never thaw a pipe with an open flame.
Fix it so it does not happen again
A pipe that froze once will freeze again in the same spot. When we repair it, we look at why it froze, whether that is a line on an outside wall, a crawlspace vent left open or a hose bib that was never shut off, and we fix that too.
Getting ready for winter
Disconnect garden hoses, shut off and drain outside faucets, keep the heat on and open cabinet doors under sinks on outside walls on the coldest nights. Ask us to look at any line that has frozen before.
