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

Shut off the water to the affected line, then open nearby faucets to relieve pressure. Warm the pipe slowly with a hair dryer or a space heater. Start at the faucet end and work toward the frozen section. Never use an open flame. Wrap pipes with warm towels and check for leaks as ice melts. If a pipe bursts, we provide after hours repairs in Marion, Wabash, and surrounding communities. Licensed plumbers can also insulate and winterize problem areas.
