Frozen & Burst Pipe Repair in Waukegan

Wind off Lake Michigan drives Waukegan's winter temperatures well below freezing, and pipes along exterior walls, in crawlspaces and in unheated garages are the first to freeze. A frozen pipe can split, and you'll often only find out when it thaws and starts spraying.

If a pipe is frozen

1. Open the faucet it feeds so melting water has somewhere to go.
2. Warm the area gently with a space heater or hair dryer. Never use an open flame.
3. If you can't find the frozen section or it has burst, close the main shut-off and call us.

What we do

We locate the frozen section, thaw it safely, repair or replace split pipe, and insulate or reroute vulnerable lines so it doesn't happen again.

Preventing freeze-ups

• Keep cabinet doors open on exterior walls during cold snaps
• Disconnect garden hoses and use frost-free hose bibs
• Insulate crawlspace and rim-joist piping
