Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my pipe is just frozen or if it has actually burst?
When your pipe is frozen, you won’t see any water coming out of your faucets, or just a slow trickle. You’ll usually also see frost on the pipe or feel that it’s cold to the touch. If there’s water damage, wet drywall, or flooding, there’s likely a pipe burst. A frozen pipe is dangerous if left untreated because it could burst when the ice thaws. If you suspect a frozen pipe, it’s important to call a plumber right away to prevent a bigger problem.
If a frozen pipe hasn’t burst yet, should I call a plumber now or wait and see?
It’s smart to call a plumber sooner rather than later. If your pipe is frozen, it’s already at risk of bursting when the weather warms up or if water pressure builds up. We can help you thaw the pipe safely and ensure there is no damage. If you wait, you may experience flooding or serious water damage when the pipe bursts, so it’s worth getting ahead of it.
My pipes froze, and now I don’t have water. Should I pull drywall or wait?
It’s tempting to tear open drywall, but doing so can create more problems by exposing the pipe to cold air, which might freeze the pipe even more. Instead, turn off your water supply and give us a call. We’ll assess the situation and find the best way to thaw the pipes with minimal damage. Typically, we can solve the problem without tearing up your walls.
Can frozen pipes thaw on their own without bursting?
Frozen pipes can sometimes thaw without bursting, but it’s risky to leave them unchecked. Pressure builds as the ice thaws, leading to a burst. It’s crucial to safely thaw the pipes, which licensed plumbers are highly trained and experienced in doing. It’s the best way to prevent water damage or flooding.
What should I do the minute I think a pipe has burst?
The first thing you should do in an emergency pipe burst is to turn off the main water valve ASAP. Then, open faucets to release pressure and call your local plumber, like A.J. Alberts. The sooner we can assess and repair the issue, the better we can minimize water damage. Time is of the essence when dealing with burst pipes, so it’s important to act fast.
Will my homeowners or commercial insurance cover burst pipe repairs?
Many insurance policies cover damage caused by burst pipes, but coverage varies by provider and policy details. Some cover the cost of water damage but not the cost of the pipe repair itself. Check with your insurance provider to understand your coverage details. We can help you with the paperwork and provide documentation if necessary.
Why should I call A.J. Alberts instead of trying to fix it myself?
Trying to handle frozen or burst pipes yourself can lead to bigger problems down the road, especially if you’re not familiar with plumbing systems. We have the expertise and training to thaw and repair pipes safely, minimizing water damage and ensuring your plumbing is in good shape afterward. DIY methods can seem like a quick, inexpensive fix, but they’re just temporary solutions that don’t address the root cause of the problem. At A.J. Alberts Plumbing, our professional repairs provide peace of mind that your pipes are in good hands.
