❄️ Frozen Pipe Thawing Edmonton

We provide 24/7 emergency service with typical response times of 60-90 minutes in Edmonton. During extreme cold snaps when demand is high, we prioritize burst pipes and flooding situations. Our dispatch team will give you an accurate arrival time when you call.

Pipes can start freezing when temperatures drop below -6°C (20°F), but the risk increases significantly below -15°C. In Edmonton's climate, pipes in unheated areas, exterior walls, or with poor insulation are especially vulnerable during our harsh winters.

While you can attempt to thaw pipes using safe methods like hair dryers or heating pads, NEVER use open flames or torches. If you're unsure or if pipes have burst, call professionals immediately. Improper thawing can cause pipes to burst or create fire hazards.

Most homeowner insurance policies cover sudden burst pipe damage, but may not cover gradual damage or if the home was vacant/unheated. Always maintain heat above 16°C and document your prevention efforts. We can provide detailed invoices for insurance claims.

Simple thawing typically ranges from $200-500, while burst pipe repairs can range from $500-2000+ depending on location and extent of damage. We provide upfront pricing before any work begins. Prevention measures like insulation are much more cost-effective than emergency repairs.

Pipes most at risk include: outdoor hose bibs, swimming pool supply lines, water sprinkler lines, pipes in unheated areas (garages, basements, crawl spaces, attics), pipes in exterior walls with poor insulation, and pipes in kitchen/bathroom cabinets on exterior walls.
