Frozen Pipes questions in Kitchener-Waterloo
Should I use an open flame to thaw a frozen pipe?+
No. Open flames create a serious fire risk and can damage plumbing. A qualified plumber can identify the frozen section and use safer thawing methods.
What if the pipe has already cracked?+
If a pipe has burst or is leaking, shut off the water supply if you can do so safely and request burst-pipe repair rather than simple thawing.
Can frozen pipes cause damage after they thaw?+
Yes. A split in the pipe may only become obvious once water starts flowing again, which is why inspection is important when damage is suspected.
