Frozen water pipes are like the dominoes of plumbing — once you have one problem, it keeps turning into one new crisis after another, tumbling like a row of dominoes. Before you know it, you can have major water damage.
The frozen pipe prevents water from flowing, but the blockage forces the water behind it to go somewhere else. On top of that, the ice expands, and that can crack or break a pipe, valve, or connection. The pressure in the system has to go somewhere, and it may burst behind a wall, in your basement, or your kitchen or bathroom.

If you suspect a pipe has frozen in your residential or commercial property, the first step is to shut off the water main. Even a slower flow than usual may indicate that an ice blockage is forming. Shutting off the main keeps water from flowing into your pipes and possibly flooding your building.
Once the water main is shut off, call A A Evans & Evans Plumbing & Heating. We provide dependable
24/7 emergency service, and we can help you protect your home or business and restore your water. Fixing the problem as quickly as possible is the best way to prevent more expensive repairs in the future.
