How can I fix a frozen pipe safely without causing damage?

Shut off your home’s main water valve, then gently warm the frozen section from the faucet end back. Keep faucets open so meltwater can flow. Never use an open flame. If the pipe has split or you see leaks, stop and call for 24/7 help. Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling provides frozen pipe repair, same-day service, and upfront pricing in Elkhart and South Bend.

Quick steps:

• Turn off main water.
• Open nearby faucets.
• Warm the pipe with a hair dryer or space heater; keep moving heat.
• Use warm towels. Avoid torches.
• Call if you spot leaks or a burst.
