How to Thaw and Prevent Frozen Water Pipes
Frozen water pipes are a constant threat during winter. If the only issue with frozen pipes is the temporary disruption of water supply to parts of your home, the problem would be easier to endure. But frozen water in your pipes can leave you with damaged pipes and expensive repairs, warns Liberty Real Estate Services.
Water expands when it freezes and can exert pressures of over 2000 pounds per square inch. This is enough force to rupture your pipe or, at the very least, weaken them. Typically, you don’t even know this is happening until the ice thaws and your home is suddenly flooded.
The result is damaged walls, ceilings, and floors that cost tens of thousands of dollars to repair. This problem mostly happens to pipes that are connected to outside-facing walls, pipes in under-the-sink cabinets, unheated basements or crawlspaces, and outdoor faucets.
What can you do if a pipe in your home is frozen but not ruptured? Is there a way to thaw the frozen pipe without damaging it? Yes, you can thaw a frozen pipe without damaging it. Below are the steps to do this, depending on the location of the pipe inside your home.
Frozen pipes inside walls
Pipes embedded in the walls or ceilings of your home may become frozen. Unfreezing them is harder than thawing pipes that are exposed. If you find that one of the pipes inside the walls or ceilings of the house is frozen, here is what you can do:
Turn up the heat in your entire home – Ensure you leave the cabinet door open if the frozen pipe is in a wall inside your bathroom or beneath the base cabinet for your kitchen sink or vanity. This will let warm air in your home carry heat to the wall.
Open up the wall section – If you cannot wait to let the heated air in your home defrost the pipe, maybe because you think a burst pipe is looming, use this solution. Cut the section of wall or ceiling directly above the pipe and use the same methods you would use to thaw an exposed pipe (explained in the next section).
Thawing exposed pipes that are frozen
If it is an exposed pipe, thawing it is easier since you can apply the steps above directly to the pipe. There are three ways to thaw exposed pipes. Regardless of the one you choose, always start by applying the heat from the faucet side of the pipe or the side closest to the water main and move forward to the frozen area.
Using a hair dryer – This method is the easiest and safest. The items you need are things you already have in the home. To help direct the heat to the backside of the pipe, place a cookie sheet behind the pipe. When defrosting a frozen pipe with a water heater, apply the heat using a sweeping motion across the frozen pipe section.
Use a portable heater – You may also thaw frozen pipes with a space heater. Turn the space heater to its highest setting and let it warm the air around the frozen pipe. Remember to open the doors of the cabinet if the pipe is in a cabinet under the kitchen sink or bathroom vanity.
Use an electrical heat tape – The third way to thaw frozen pipes is with a heat cable; a freeze protection cable you place directly on pipes to unfreeze them. To use the tape, attach it to the copper or plastic pipe with electrical tape, making sure the thermostat is directly on the pipe to sense its temperature.
How to prevent your pipes from freezing
The best way to deal with frozen pipes in your home is to not have them at all. After thawing the pipe, here are a few simple steps you can take to make sure you don’t have this problem ever again.
Keep faucets dripping – If it gets really cold and you think a pipe in your home might freeze, leave the faucet dripping to keep the water inside the pipes moving. This will prevent freezing.
Open the cabinet doors – Keep cabinet doors open to let warm air from the rest of the house circulate into the colder areas inside the cabinet. This will usually be sufficient to keep pipes from freezing.
Wrap the pipe with electrical heat tape – If a pipe is in the habit of freezing, wrap it permanently with electrical heat tape and turn on the heat if the weather starts to get cold.
Add insulation to pipes – To keep pipes in unheated spaces like basements and crawlspaces from freezing, wrap them with foam insulation. But this will only work if the rest of the room is not cold.
Install a permanent space heater – Permanently installing a space heater in unheated spaces in the home – garage, basement, and crawlspace – will keep exposed pipes or pipes inside the walls from freezing.
Disconnect garden hose in winter – If your faucet is not frost-proof, it will be vulnerable to freezing. Prevent this by turning off the water supply to the faucet and removing the garden hoses connected to it.

What To Do When A Pipe Bursts?
Even though you don’t see them often, there are water pipes inside the walls, floors, and ceilings of almost every room in your home. These pipes make it possible to enjoy one of the biggest wonders of modern life; access to clean water on demand.
But just as your home’s plumbing can make your life convenient, the plumbing can also cause massive destruction to your home, warns RENEW Real Estate. This happens when a plumbing pipe ruptures and spills the water inside it into the home. Burst pipes are a constant possibility with modern plumbing.
Every year, 250,000 American homes suffer property damage due to a burst pipe, and the average insurance claim for each of those homes is $15,000. What causes water pipes to burst, and how can you prevent it? More importantly, what should you do when a pipe bursts?
What to do if a pipe bursts in your home
Follow these steps to minimize water damage to your home when a plumbing pipe bursts.
Step one: Find the main water shut-off valve and turn it off
This will turn off the water supply in your home. The main shut-off valve is usually located in the basement, near the water heater and after the water meter. Turning off the main shut-off valve will prevent further water damage to your home. If the burst pipe section has its own shut-off valve, you may also turn off the water supply at that point.
Step two: Turn off the electricity if necessary
If there is a chance that the spilled water may come into contact with a power outlet or an electrical feature in the house, you may want to disconnect the power supply to your home. This precautionary step will prevent electric shocks, short-circuiting, and damage to your home appliances.
Step three: Remove your personal belongings from the path of the water
If there are any items that the water may damage near the area of the leak, move them out of the reach of the water. This is important because if you have to make an insurance claim for damage caused by the leak, your insurer will not cover damage to those items. Removing them will reduce the cost of fixing the damage.
Step four: Take photos of the scene
You will need a visual record of what happened if you want to file an insurance claim. Take photos of the damaged pipe (or the general location of the leak if you don’t know where the burst pipe is) and the spilled water on the floor of your home. After you do the steps below (before and after you call your plumber), take photos of the scene.
Step five: Drain water from pipes
Open the faucets in your home to drain any water inside the system. Don’t do this step if you did not turn off the home’s water supply from the main shut-off valve. Only open your faucets if the water supply to the entire house is suspended. Draining the pipes will prevent accidental spillage when the damaged section of piping is either removed or repaired.
Step six: Dry up the water
Remove the water as quickly as possible by mopping it up with a mop bucket. Move items near the site of the spill to dry up any water that has collected beneath or behind them. Use a fan or dehumidifier to dry the area after mopping the water. The longer water remains on the surfaces, the more time it can penetrate and damage them; that’s why you want to be very thorough when drying your home.
Step seven: Call your plumber
Do not try to fix the damaged pipe by yourself. Repairing the damaged pipe yourself could expose your home to the risk of future water damage if that damaged section of plumbing is not mended correctly. You may not get compensation from your insurer if you fix the pipe yourself and it bursts again. You are better off letting a local plumber handle the issue to avoid future problems.
Step eight: Learn how to prevent pipes from bursting
To save yourself the aggravation of cleaning up your home, fixing a damaged pipe, and filling out insurance paperwork after a burst pipe, here are the things you can do to prevent the problem:
Be aware of where your main shut-off valve is. In the time you take to look for the main shut-off valve in the wrong places, water can do massive damage to your home.
Tag the main water shut-off valve and let everyone in your household know where it is and how to use it.
Take the right steps to protect your water pipes during winter. Many pipes burst due to frozen water inside them during winter.
