How can I fix a frozen pipe safely without causing damage?
You can thaw a frozen pipe by turning off the water, opening nearby faucets, and warming the pipe slowly with a hair dryer or warm towels. Do not use an open flame. Start at the faucet and work toward the ice. If the pipe has cracked or you see leaks, stop and call a plumber. Griffin Plumbing provides leak detection and minimally invasive pipe repairs, including trenchless options, for homes in Santa Maria and Lompoc. Recommended repairs include a 2-year warranty, with an optional 3-year upgrade.
