First, we shut off your water supply to prevent flooding if the pipe is already compromised. This single step often prevents thousands in water damage that homeowners miss when trying DIY solutions.
Next, we locate the frozen section using professional detection equipment and apply controlled heat that gradually warms the entire blocked area. No hair dryers or space heaters that create dangerous hot spots.
Finally, we restore water flow slowly and inspect for any damage that occurred during the freeze. If repairs are needed, we handle them immediately with minimal disruption to your property using trenchless methods when possible.
