Frozen Pipe Repair and Prevention FAQ

Q1: How do I know if my pipes are frozen?

A: Common signs include no water flow from faucets, frost on exposed pipes, or strange noises when turning on taps. If you suspect freezing, turn off your main water supply and call a plumber immediately.

Q2: What should I do if a pipe bursts?

A: Shut off your water at the main valve and, if safe, your power in affected areas. Then, contact Grant Mechanical Inc. for emergency service to contain and repair the damage.

Q3: Can I thaw frozen pipes myself?

A: It’s risky. Using open flames or improper heating methods can cause pipes to burst or start a fire. It’s always safer to call a professional.

Q4: How can I prevent my pipes from freezing?

A: Keep your home heated above 15°C (59°F), open cabinet doors under sinks, and let faucets drip during extreme cold. Insulating exposed pipes is also key.

Q5: Do you offer preventive inspections before winter?

A: Yes. We can inspect your plumbing system in the fall and recommend upgrades or insulation improvements to prevent freezing issues before they start.
