What to Do if Your Pipes Freeze

Steps

• Keep the faucet open
• Find the main shutoff before thawing in case a split starts leaking
• Warm the pipe gently with a hair dryer or warm towels; never an open flame
• Check every faucet; one frozen pipe often means others

When to call

If you cannot locate the frozen section, it is in a wall or ceiling, or it has split, call a plumber. See frozen pipes.
