No extra weekend surcharge. Diagnostic fee waived. VIP does not add a Saturday or Sunday surcharge. Applicable service and repair costs will be explained before work begins. For a time-sensitive emergency, call instead of relying on an online appointment request.
When this plumbing problem needs urgent attention.
Frozen supply lines, no water after a hard freeze and leaks that emerge during thawing.
Exposed pipes feel frozen or frost is visible on an accessible line.
Water appears after an earlier freeze or when temperatures rise.
Several fixtures suddenly lose water when other homes are functioning normally.
Four practical steps for your safety and your home.
Avoid fire and unsafe heat
Never use a torch, open flame or high-temperature heating tool on a frozen pipe. Fire and pipe rupture risks are serious.
Know where the shutoff is
Locate a safe main water shutoff before thawing occurs. If a line has split or is leaking, close the supply.
Protect against further freezing
Keep appropriate indoor heat running, close openings around exposed pipes and follow local utility guidance.
Arrange plumbing help
Explain which fixtures lost water, whether leaks appeared, and whether the pipe is in a wall, attic or crawlspace.
If you smell gas, leave immediately and contact your gas utility or emergency services from a safe place. Avoid standing water near electrical equipment or other hazards.
How the right repair is determined.
A frozen but intact line may require safe thawing and insulation improvements.
A split fitting or pipe must be assessed for replacement, and additional freeze damage may be hidden.
After a thaw, the system should be checked for leaks before normal service resumes.
Answers before you schedule.
Can frozen pipes burst after temperatures warm up?
Yes. Damage may become apparent when ice melts and water starts flowing again.
Should I use a torch to thaw a pipe?
No. Open flames can cause a fire and worsen pipe damage. A qualified professional should advise on safe methods.
Can VIP handle frozen pipes overnight?
VIP PlumbingOk accepts emergency plumbing calls 24/7. Actual arrival times depend on weather, road conditions and technician availability.
Will one frozen pipe require a whole-house repipe?
Not necessarily. The affected section and overall plumbing condition should be assessed before recommending extensive work.
