Absolutely. Our thorough plumbing inspections specifically check for vulnerabilities common in our climate, like pipes in uninsulated crawl spaces or near exterior walls. We identify these risk areas and recommend practical solutions, such as adding insulation or heat tape, to prevent the costly damage and inconvenience of extreme frozen pipes before the deep cold sets in.

Yes, it's very common. Older plumbing systems in many area homes can be more susceptible to clogs from food particles. While we can safely clear the immediate jam, our inspection service often looks at the broader drain health to see if there's a recurring issue or a partial blockage further down the line, helping solve the problem for good.

First, shut off the main water supply to prevent potential flooding if a pipe has burst. Then, gently apply heat (like a hairdryer) to the frozen section if it's accessible and safe to do so. Never use an open flame. For extreme frozen pipes, especially those inside walls, call us immediately. We have the tools and local expertise to safely thaw pipes and assess for any damage.
