How can I fix a frozen pipe safely without causing damage?
Shut off the main water supply first, then warm the frozen section slowly, starting at the faucet end, using a hair dryer or warm towels. Do not use an open flame. Open nearby faucets to relieve pressure. After thawing, check for leaks and restore water gradually. If you suspect hidden damage, we provide non-invasive leak detection in Vacaville and surrounding North Bay areas like Novato.
Quick steps:
- Turn off main valve
- Open faucets
- Warm pipe gently (no flames)
- Restore water slowly and inspect
