Frozen Pipe Thawing Services

Everyone knows the winter months can bring nasty surprises, especially in areas like Southern Ontario, but your plumbing probably isn’t the first problem that comes to mind.

Unexpected cold snaps can cause the water in unprotected pipes to freeze solid, expanding and exerting tremendous pressure. This pressure can build up to the point where it easily ruptures virtually any pipe. The pipes that are at highest risk for freezing are those located in outside walls and unheated basements.

If your pipes freeze, get them thawed promptly to prevent damage to an otherwise sound plumbing system. While it is possible to thaw out pipes yourself, it is a time consuming process that is often better performed by someone with advanced knowledge of how your plumbing system operates.

If pipes are thawed incorrectly it can cause extra pressure from released gases, bursting a pipe which may have otherwise been saved and causing a much larger problem. The longer your pipe is frozen, the more likely it is to suffer permanent damage so call an expert right away!

Our emergency service is available 24 hours a day and seven days a week to meet any plumbing needs no matter when they occur. Choose a company you can have confidence in, call Hy-Pro Plumbing and Drains today!
