Winter temperatures in Kentucky and Indiana can cause water pipes to freeze – and if not addressed in time, those frozen pipes can burst and lead to major water damage. Branded Tomorrow Plumbing provides emergency frozen pipe repair and thawing services to help you during deep freezes. We assist both homeowners and businesses with safely restoring water flow and repairing any burst pipes to get your plumbing back to normal.
Thawing Frozen Pipes: If you turn on the faucet and nothing comes out on a frigid day, you likely have a frozen pipe. Our team will locate the frozen section (common areas are crawl spaces, exterior walls, or unheated basements) and gently thaw the pipe using safe methods – such as heat lamps, heat tape, or warm air circulation. We take care to heat the pipe gradually to avoid sudden pressure build-up. We’ll also advise you to open taps during the process, allowing melting water to escape and relieving pressure.
Burst Pipe Repair: If a pipe has cracked or burst due to freezing, we act quickly to shut off the water and mitigate flooding. We’ll then replace the damaged section of pipe. Our plumbers come prepared with piping and fittings (copper, PEX, etc.) to perform immediate repairs. In an emergency, we can do a temporary bypass and then return for a permanent fix if needed. We also check for any additional splits along the line, as freezing can sometimes cause multiple weak spots.
Prevention & Follow-Up: Once the crisis is resolved, we help you prevent future freeze-ups. This can include insulating exposed pipes, installing pipe heating cables, or re-routing vulnerable pipes indoors. If an area of your plumbing is consistently freezing due to poor placement (for example, pipes in an exterior wall), we might recommend a longer-term solution like relocating those lines or even a Whole Home Repiping in extreme cases. Additionally, for low-lying basements prone to flooding from burst pipes, our Sump Pump Installation can add an extra layer of protection by removing water quickly.
During winter cold snaps, response time is critical – and Branded Tomorrow Plumbing is ready 24/7 to tackle frozen pipe emergencies. We have experience with the common trouble spots in local homes, from frozen sillcocks (outdoor hose bibs) to main supply lines in older uninsulated homes. Our service area spans Louisville and all surrounding counties (Jefferson, Shelby, Spencer, Oldham, Bullitt, Hardin, Meade, Breckinridge, Hancock, Ohio, Grayson in KY, and Clark, Floyd, Harrison, Perry in IN). Wherever you are in the region, if you have frozen pipes or a burst line, call us for prompt, professional help to thaw and repair your plumbing.
