Expert Pipe Repair in the Greater Tyler Area

The safest way to fix a frozen pipe is to thaw it slowly with gentle, indirect heat while cracking a nearby faucet and watching for leaks. Freezing often starts at exposed or uninsulated runs near exterior walls or hose bibs. Work from the coldest spot toward the open tap to avoid pressure spikes. Skip open flames, and keep electric heaters clear of water. Our technicians serve the Henderson area and can pinpoint hidden freezes or slab-leak risks if the source isn’t obvious.

Try these focused steps:

• Slightly open the affected cold tap to relieve pressure.
• Warm the pipe with a hair dryer or heating pad, moving steadily.
• Never use a torch; rapid heating can rupture the pipe.
• If no flow returns in 30–45 minutes or the pipe bulges, shut off the main and call a pro.

After thawing, check every joint for drips and add insulation to prevent a refreeze.
