Whether it’s a partially frozen kitchen drain or a completely blocked sewer main, we act fast to restore flow and help prevent long-term damage.
What Causes Pipes to Freeze?
Pipes and drain lines exposed to cold temperatures—especially in basements, crawl spaces, garages, and exterior walls—are vulnerable to freezing. When water freezes, it expands, creating pressure that can crack a pipe, damage fittings, or create blockages that stop drainage completely.
Frozen lines are more common when insulation is missing, temperatures drop rapidly, or water sits in a line during extended cold spells.
Signs You May Have a Frozen Sewer or Sink Line
If you notice any of the following, you may be dealing with a frozen line:
No water flow from faucets or drains
Gurgling sounds when water is used
Strong sewer smells inside the home
Water backups or overflow in sinks, tubs, or toilets
Frost or condensation on exposed pipes
Multiple drains slowing down at once
If these signs show up, don’t wait—frozen lines can crack or burst without warning.
Our Frozen Line Thawing Process
Our team follows a careful, damage-free process:
Inspection & location: We identify where the freeze is occurring.
Safe, controlled thawing: We apply controlled heat methods to thaw the line without harming pipes or the surrounding area.
Clear residual blockages: If ice and debris remain, we clear the line to restore proper flow.
System check: We test drainage and check for leaks or weak points.
Prevention guidance: We recommend insulation, heat solutions, or upgrades to reduce repeat freezing.

FAQs About Frozen Sewer & Sink Lines
Can frozen lines cause a pipe to burst?
Yes. Expanding ice can crack or burst pipes and fittings, leading to water damage when the ice melts.
Is it safe to thaw a pipe myself?
DIY thawing can be risky. Incorrect methods can damage pipes or create hazards. Professional thawing is safer and more reliable.
What if the sewer main is frozen?
A frozen main can cause backups and overflow. We can locate the freeze and restore flow safely.
