Our frozen pipe service includes everything you need to get back to normal. Professional pipe thawing, burst pipe repair if needed, water extraction if there’s been flooding, and system testing to prevent future problems.
Mount Prospect’s winter conditions are particularly tough on plumbing. With temperatures regularly dropping into the teens and staying there for days, even well-insulated pipes can freeze. Properties built before 1980 are especially vulnerable, and homes with pipes running through exterior walls or unheated spaces face the highest risk.
We carry all the equipment needed for complete repairs on our trucks, so most jobs get finished the same day. That means you’re not waiting days for parts or dealing with multiple service calls while your pipes remain vulnerable to refreezing.
We provide 24/7 emergency service throughout Mount Prospect and typically respond within an hour of your call during winter emergencies. Frozen pipes become more dangerous the longer they stay frozen, so speed matters.
Our trucks are equipped with professional thawing equipment and we keep them stocked during winter months specifically for these emergencies. When you call, you’re getting a team that’s prepared and ready to solve your problem fast.
Professional thawing uses controlled heat and specialized equipment designed specifically for frozen pipes. DIY methods like hair dryers, space heaters, or open flames are dangerous and often ineffective.
Our professional equipment can safely thaw pipes without causing damage or creating fire hazards. We also know how to identify whether pipes have already burst before we start thawing, which prevents flooding your home when the ice melts. DIY attempts often miss this crucial step and can turn a frozen pipe problem into a major water damage disaster.
The cost depends on how many pipes are frozen, whether there’s already damage, and how accessible the frozen sections are. Simple thawing jobs typically cost less than complex repairs involving burst pipes and water damage.
We provide upfront pricing before we start work, so you know exactly what you’re paying. No hidden fees, no surprise charges after the job is done. Most homeowners find professional service costs far less than the water damage that can result from burst pipes or failed DIY attempts.
Yes, but it takes the right approach for Mount Prospect’s specific conditions. Simple steps like letting faucets drip during extreme cold, keeping cabinet doors open to circulate warm air around pipes, and maintaining consistent heating can help.
However, Mount Prospect’s winter temperatures regularly drop below the critical 20-degree threshold where even insulated pipes can freeze. Properties with pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces, or unheated areas need additional protection like pipe insulation or heating cables. We can assess your specific situation and recommend the most effective prevention measures for your property.
First, turn off your main water supply to prevent flooding if the pipes burst when they thaw. Then call us immediately—don’t attempt to thaw the pipes yourself, as this can cause more damage or create safety hazards.
Keep the affected faucets open to relieve pressure as the pipes thaw, but don’t use open flames, blowtorches, or other dangerous heating methods. Many homeowners make the situation worse by trying DIY solutions that can cause pipe damage, fires, or electrocution. Professional thawing is safer and more effective.
Yes, we provide complete emergency service including water extraction and cleanup if your frozen pipes have already caused flooding. Our trucks carry water removal equipment along with pipe repair tools.
The key is acting fast to minimize damage. Water from burst pipes can quickly damage flooring, walls, and personal belongings, and can lead to mold problems if not properly dried. We handle both the plumbing repair and the immediate water damage mitigation so you don’t need to coordinate multiple contractors during an emergency.
