Signs You Have Burst or Frozen Pipes
It’s relatively easy to recognize when your pipes are frozen or if a burst has occurred. We recommend scheduling a service appointment immediately if you detect any of the following signs. Prompt action can protect your home and reduce the cost of the required corrective actions.
- Water leaks: The most visible sign is flowing or pooling water.
- Loss of pressure: Loss of water pressure indicates that the pipe is frozen or a significant burst has occurred.
- Discolored water: Water discoloration indicates a burst pipe, allowing dirt and debris into the pipe.
- Decreased water temperature: If your hot water pipe bursts, it can cause a significant decrease in the temperature flowing through the tap.
- Water damage: Visibly damaged flooring, drywall, carpet, etc., can indicate leaks under floors or behind walls.

FAQs
What happens if I don't thaw a frozen pipe?
Failure to promptly thaw a frozen pipe significantly increases the risk of the pipe bursting. While warmer weather can thaw a pipe in hours or days, it’s unlikely and a risky strategy we don’t recommend.
Are frost-proof spigots effective?
Frost-proof spigots prevent freezing once the valve is turned off. The water drains from the valve, leaving the tube clear.
When pipes are frozen, can you flush toilets, take showers, etc.?
It’s not advisable as this can introduce considerable water pressure on your pipes, which can cause nasty backups or cause the pipe to burst.
