Common Frozen Pipes Scenarios
DON'T Use Open Flames
Never use a torch, candle, or space heater directly on pipes. Use a hair dryer, heat lamp, or wrap pipes in hot towels. Open flame near pipes risks fire and can cause them to burst.
Open the Faucet
Open the faucet connected to the frozen pipe. Running water (even a trickle) helps melt ice from the inside and relieves pressure that causes bursts.
Apply Heat Slowly
Start heating from the faucet end and work toward the frozen section. This allows water to flow out as ice melts, reducing pressure.
Know When to Call a Pro
If you can't locate the frozen section, the pipe is inside a wall, or you suspect it has already burst, call a plumber immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my pipes are frozen?
Signs of frozen pipes: no water comes out when you turn on a faucet, only a trickle, frost visible on exposed pipes, or unusual odors from drains (a frozen line can cause waste backup). In Lampasas, pipes in exterior walls, unheated basements, and crawl spaces freeze first.
Will frozen pipes always burst?
No — but the risk is high. When water freezes, it expands and creates pressure between the ice blockage and the faucet. If that pressure has nowhere to go, the pipe bursts. Quick thawing reduces the risk. Copper and galvanized pipes are more vulnerable than PEX.
How much does frozen pipe repair cost in Lampasas?
Thawing a frozen pipe without damage: $100-$300. If the pipe has burst: $200-$1,000 for the pipe repair plus water damage costs. Prevention (insulation, heat tape) costs $50-$200 per pipe run — much cheaper than repair.
How do I prevent frozen pipes in Lampasas?
In Lampasas winters: insulate pipes in unheated areas, leave faucets dripping during extreme cold, keep cabinet doors open under sinks on exterior walls, maintain heat at 55°F+ even when away, and disconnect garden hoses before the first freeze.
