How can I fix a frozen pipe safely without causing damage?
If a pipe is frozen, thaw it slowly and safely. Start by opening the faucet to relieve pressure. Warm the pipe with a hair dryer or warm towels; never use an open flame. Work from the faucet back toward the frozen section. If you see cracks, shut off the main water supply. After thawing, watch for leaks. Elmer’s Home Services offers 24-hour emergency plumbing for leaking pipes in San Antonio and nearby areas.
