How can I fix a frozen pipe safely without causing damage?

Shut off your home’s water, then gently thaw the frozen section with a hair dryer, a space heater at a safe distance, or warm towels. Start at the faucet and move along the pipe. Do not use an open flame. Open nearby faucets to relieve pressure and watch for leaks. If a line bursts, keep water off and call a plumber. We service homes in Melbourne and Satellite Beach.

• Find and close the main water shutoff.
• Warm the pipe with a hair dryer; keep heat moving.
• Open the nearest faucet to relieve pressure.
• Turn water on slowly and check for leaks.
