How can I fix a frozen pipe safely without causing damage?
Start by turning off the main water supply if the pipe has split. If it’s only frozen, open the nearest faucet and gently warm the pipe from the faucet backward. Use a hair dryer, heating pad, or warm towels. Keep a safe space heater nearby if needed. Never use an open flame or torch. After thawing, check for leaks and pressure changes. If you suspect a burst or hidden damage, Apollo Plumbing offers 24/7 emergency pipe repair and leak detection.
