Plumber Glen Ellyn IL | Call John O Connell Plumbing

If you suspect a frozen pipe, the first step is to gently apply heat to the frozen section using a hairdryer or warm towels, starting from the faucet end and working backward. Never use an open flame. Keep the faucet open to allow water to flow as it thaws. For hard-to-reach pipes or if you're unsure, it's best to call a professional like us. We can safely thaw the line and inspect it for any cracks or damage caused by expansion, which is a common issue with our local winters, to prevent a major leak when the water flows again.
