Fast Help For Frozen & Burst Pipes
Frozen pipes rarely happen at a convenient time. You might notice that a faucet stops running in the middle of a cold night, or you wake up to find water on the floor from a line that has already burst. In these moments, you need a team that treats your call as a priority and understands how to manage a winter plumbing emergency safely.
Common signs of frozen pipes include very low or no water flow from a faucet, toilets that will not refill, or unusual noises when you turn fixtures on. If a pipe has already split, you may see visible leaks, damp drywall, or pooling water in a basement or crawlspace. Ignoring these early signs can allow a small frozen section to expand into a full break, which can lead to significant water damage and higher repair costs.
Our dispatchers are available around the clock to connect you with a plumber who can assess your situation and schedule a prompt visit. In many cases, we can provide same-day emergency service, even during periods of high demand. We offer free estimates before work begins, so you can understand the likely scope of repair and make decisions without guesswork. When you contact our team, we talk you through safe steps to protect your home while we are on the way.

What To Do Right Now If You Suspect Frozen Pipes
If you think a pipe has frozen, or you already see signs of a leak, taking a few careful steps can help protect your home while you wait for a plumber. Safety always comes first, so if water is near electrical panels, plugs, or appliances, it is important to stay clear of that area and call for professional help right away. When conditions are safe, a few simple actions can make a real difference.
One of the most important steps, especially if you hear running water or see moisture, is to turn off your main water supply valve. This can limit further water flow into a damaged line and reduce the amount of water that can escape into your home. You can also open affected faucets slightly, which may help relieve built-up pressure in a frozen pipe and give water a path to escape as it begins to thaw. However, it is important to avoid using open flames or high-heat devices on pipes, since these methods can damage the plumbing or create fire hazards.
While you are taking these steps, our team can guide you over the phone on what is appropriate for your situation. We encourage you to describe what you see in detail, including the location of any damp areas and how many fixtures are affected. This information helps us prepare for your visit and anticipate the repairs that may be needed. Once we arrive, we assume responsibility for the technical work so you can focus on your family, your tenants, or your daily routine.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can your team get to my home for frozen pipes?
We respond to frozen and burst pipe calls as quickly as possible, with timing based on factors like current weather conditions, call volume, and your location in relation to our on-duty technicians. During typical winter days, many homeowners receive same-day service, and in active emergencies we work to prioritize cases where water is leaking or essential fixtures are unusable. Because we provide 24/7 emergency coverage, including weekends and holidays, you can reach us whenever a problem appears. When you call, we discuss realistic arrival windows and keep you informed if conditions change. Our goal is to balance speed with safety and thorough work once we are on site.
What should I do before your plumber arrives if my pipes are frozen?
If you suspect frozen pipes and it is safe to move around your home, turning off the main water supply is often a smart first step, particularly if you see or hear signs of a leak. You can also gently open affected faucets to relieve pressure, which may help reduce the chance of a line bursting as temperatures fluctuate. It is important to avoid using space heaters, open flames, or torches directly on pipes, since these can create fire hazards and damage your plumbing. If water is near electrical equipment or you feel unsafe, step away from the affected area and wait for our technician. When you call us, we can provide more specific guidance based on what you describe.
Can I safely try to thaw frozen pipes myself?
Some minor freezing issues may respond to gentle warming, such as increasing the heat in your home or opening cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls. However, direct, high heat from devices like torches, propane heaters, or heat guns can damage pipes and raise the risk of fire, so we do not recommend these methods. It can also be difficult to know exactly where a pipe is frozen and whether it has already cracked, which means thawing it quickly may lead to sudden leaks. Our technicians are trained to evaluate the system, choose controlled methods, and watch for signs of existing damage. If you are unsure about the source of the problem or see any leakage, it is usually safer to call our team and allow us to handle the thawing and repair.
How much does emergency frozen pipe repair usually cost?
The cost of emergency frozen pipe repair can vary based on several factors, including how easy it is to access the affected pipes, how many sections are involved, and whether any parts of the plumbing need full replacement. Additional work, such as addressing multiple frozen zones or repairing damage in finished walls or ceilings, can also influence total cost. We provide free estimates before starting work, so you understand the expected scope and price for your particular situation. Our company offers financing options with competitive rates, which can make unplanned repairs more manageable for many homeowners. During your visit, we explain available options clearly, so you can choose an approach that fits your needs and budget.
Will your technicians clean up after repairing my frozen or burst pipe?
Our technicians work to keep your home as orderly as possible while they locate and repair frozen or burst pipes. This typically includes using drop cloths or other protective measures where practical, managing debris created by accessing the plumbing, and removing the materials we bring in once the job is complete. If a pipe has leaked into building materials or flooring, more extensive cleanup or restoration may be needed, which can involve services beyond the scope of plumbing repair. In those situations, we describe what we have addressed and what still needs attention, so you can plan next steps. Throughout the appointment, our team strives to treat your home with respect and minimize disruption.
Can you help prevent my pipes from freezing again?
Yes, we can help you reduce the chances of frozen pipes in the future by identifying vulnerable areas and recommending practical improvements. During or after a repair visit, we can walk through your plumbing layout, note where pipes are exposed or near cold zones, and discuss insulation, rerouting, or other changes that may provide better protection. We also share everyday prevention tips, such as how to prepare your home before a forecasted cold snap and small adjustments that can keep more warmth around critical plumbing. If you wish, you can schedule a separate visit focused on preventive work when it is more convenient. Our aim is to give you a clear path from emergency response to long-term resilience.
Do you offer frozen pipe repair during weekends and holidays?
We provide emergency plumbing services at all hours, including weekends and holidays. Frozen and burst pipe problems often appear during these times, when temperatures drop and many people are at home using water more frequently. Because we staff our phone line and technicians around the clock, you can call as soon as you notice an issue, rather than waiting for regular business hours. When you reach us, we explain current availability, set expectations for arrival, and help you take initial steps to protect your home. Our written satisfaction and workmanship guarantee apply to work performed during these off-hours visits as well.

All of the employees from the night phone answering to the owner are kind and respectful and sensitive to pertinent needs. Several different plumbers pulled together and did a major install for me, doing work that was different than the standard replacement. During that process if considering many alternatives, they took time to do some random repairs and adjustments that needed attention. All was done quickly & efficiently.- Susan Bruce

We have used Wolfschmidt before for HVAC issues and have always been pleased with their prompt service and the quality of their work. Today we had a burst pipe. They initially told us that they didn't have anyone for the repair for another 2 days but would send someone out to assess the situation. They arrived promptly and were able to fix the problem immediately. Elton, patiently explained everything (the work he was about to do as well as other options) to me in a way I could understand which made me very confident in his expertise. He also has a great sense of humor which made me laugh despite my living room being flooded. If you haven't used them before, you should, for any plumbing or HVAC issues. They treat their repeat customers VERY well!- Kevin K.
