Our frozen pipe service covers everything from simple thawing to full burst pipe repair and water damage cleanup. We handle the entire situation so you don’t have to coordinate between multiple companies while water is damaging your home.
Stone Park’s location in the Chicago metro means we deal with some of the harshest winter conditions in the country. Temperatures regularly drop below zero, and with the area’s mix of older homes and varying construction styles, frozen pipes are unfortunately common. We’ve developed our service specifically for these local conditions.
Whether it’s a frozen supply line in your basement, a burst pipe behind your kitchen sink, or exterior pipes that froze overnight, we have the equipment and expertise to handle it. Plus, we provide upfront pricing so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start work.
We provide 24/7 emergency service throughout Stone Park and typically arrive within an hour of your call during normal conditions. During severe winter storms when everyone’s pipes are freezing, response times may extend to 2-3 hours, but we prioritize calls based on severity and work around the clock.
We understand that frozen pipes often mean no water for your family, and burst pipes mean active water damage happening to your home. That’s why we maintain emergency crews specifically for winter plumbing emergencies and don’t make you wait until regular business hours.
Frozen pipe repair involves safely thawing pipes that are blocked with ice but haven’t cracked or burst yet. This is typically less expensive and can often be completed in a few hours using professional thawing equipment.
Burst pipe repair is needed when the frozen pipe has actually cracked or split, usually from the pressure of expanding ice. This requires replacing the damaged section of pipe, cleaning up any water damage, and often involves drying out affected areas to prevent mold growth. Burst pipe repairs are more complex and costly, which is why we emphasize getting to frozen pipes quickly before they reach this point.
We strongly recommend against DIY pipe thawing, especially with any open flame or high-heat methods. Many homeowners accidentally cause more damage by heating pipes too quickly, which can create dangerous steam pressure or even cause pipes to burst from thermal shock.
If you must do something while waiting for us to arrive, you can open faucets to relieve pressure and gently warm the air around exposed pipes with a space heater placed safely away from the pipes themselves. But professional thawing equipment is specifically designed to heat pipes gradually and evenly, which prevents the damage that DIY methods often cause.
Simple pipe thawing typically ranges from $200 to $500, depending on how many pipes are affected and their accessibility. If pipes have burst, costs increase significantly – anywhere from $500 to $2,000 or more depending on the extent of damage and water cleanup needed.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you’ll know exactly what you’re paying. Our pricing includes the emergency service call, professional thawing, system testing, and basic prevention advice. We don’t believe in surprise charges or hidden fees, especially during emergency situations when you’re already stressed about your plumbing.
Stone Park’s location in the Chicago area means regular exposure to temperatures well below freezing, often for extended periods. Pipes typically freeze when they’re exposed to cold air through poor insulation, gaps in exterior walls, or when they’re located in unheated spaces like basements, crawl spaces, or along exterior walls.
Many Stone Park homes were built decades ago when insulation standards were different, making them more vulnerable to frozen pipes. Additionally, Chicago’s notorious wind can push cold air into small gaps and cracks, reaching pipes that might otherwise stay warm enough. The combination of sustained sub-zero temperatures and older construction creates the perfect conditions for frozen pipes.
The most effective prevention starts with identifying your home’s vulnerable areas – typically pipes along exterior walls, in unheated basements, or in crawl spaces. Proper insulation around these pipes is crucial, and we can assess your specific situation during our service call.
During extreme cold snaps, keep a slight drip running from faucets connected to vulnerable pipes, maintain your home temperature at least 55 degrees even when away, and open cabinet doors under sinks to let warm air circulate around pipes. We’ll provide specific recommendations based on your home’s layout and the areas where we found frozen pipes, because every Stone Park home has different vulnerable spots depending on its age, construction, and orientation.
