What to Do If Pipes Freeze or Burst

The first few minutes decide how much damage you end up with. Do this while our plumber is on the way.

01

Shut Off the Main Valve

It's usually in the basement, next to the water meter where the line comes in.

02

Open the Affected Tap

This relieves pressure and lets water out as the ice melts.

03

Never Use an Open Flame

A torch can crack the pipe or start a fire inside the wall. A hair dryer is the safe option.

04

Keep Away From Electrical

If water reaches outlets or the panel, stay clear and call us right away.

Frozen Pipe Thawing

Frozen Pipe Repair Vaughan: Safe, Flame-Free Thawing

Vaughan winters bring long stretches below freezing, and frozen water pipes are one of the most common calls we get from December to March. Searching for frozen pipe repair near me? We find the frozen section and thaw it gradually with controlled, flame-free heat, so the pipe doesn't crack as it thaws.

Where Frozen Water Pipes Show Up in Vaughan Homes

  • Supply lines along exterior walls, under kitchen and bathroom sinks
  • Pipes in garage ceilings, including bedrooms built over garages in Woodbridge and Maple
  • The water service where it enters the basement near the meter
  • Outdoor taps that weren't shut off and drained before winter
  • Pipes near drafty rim joists and basement windows

Signs You Have Frozen Pipes

  • One tap trickles or gives no water while others still work
  • Frost on exposed pipes in the basement or garage
  • A bulge or crack in the pipe
  • Banging or gurgling when you open a tap
  • Damp drywall or a ceiling stain near an exterior wall
Pipe Burst? Act Fast

24/7 Burst Pipe Repair in Vaughan

A split pipe can soak a ceiling or basement floor within minutes. Looking for burst pipe repair near me? Our licensed and insured pipe plumbers stop the leak, repair the broken section, and get your water running again. We also fix smaller leaks that appear after a frozen line thaws.

01

Locate

We trace the line to the frozen or split section and check nearby pipes on the same cold wall.

Thaw Safely

Controlled, flame-free heat from the tap side, so melting water has somewhere to go.

Repair

We cut out the split section and replace it with new copper or PEX.

Test

We check the repaired line for leaks before the water goes back on.

Filing an insurance claim? We give you an itemized invoice and photos of the damaged pipe.

Frozen Water Service

Frozen Water Line? Who to Call in Vaughan

If no tap in the house works, the freeze may be in the water line to your house, not your indoor pipes. In Vaughan, responsibility for that line is split at the property line.

City Side

Beyond your property line

The City of Vaughan is responsible for the water service beyond your property line. If all water to your home has stopped, call the City at 905-832-2281. They will send a water operator to check the frozen water service.

Your Side

What we thaw and repair

From your home to the property line, the pipes are the homeowner's responsibility. That's the part we thaw and repair, along with every pipe inside the house.

Prevention

How Do You Keep Pipes From Freezing?

Wondering how to prevent frozen pipes? Most frozen pipes in Vaughan can be avoided with a few steps before the first hard freeze.

Keep the Heat Above 8°C

The City of Vaughan recommends keeping your home above 8°C, especially near the water meter.

Going Away? Set It to 15°C

For trips, the City recommends at least 15°C, plus shutting off and draining the water.

Insulate Exposed Pipes

Foam sleeves or low-wattage heat cable on pipes along exterior walls and in crawl spaces.

Winterize Outdoor Taps

Disconnect hoses, close the inside shut-off and drain the line before the first frost.

Seal Cold Drafts

Gaps at the rim joist or around pipe openings can freeze a line inside a warm house.

Know Your Main Shut-Off

Find and test it now, so you can close it in seconds if a pipe bursts.

FAQ

Frozen & Burst Pipe FAQ

What are the signs you have frozen pipes?

Usually one tap only trickles or stops while others still work. You may also see frost on exposed pipes or hear banging when you open a tap. If no fixture in the house has water, the frozen section may be the water line to your house.

What should I do if a pipe bursts?

Close the main water valve right away and open the lowest cold taps to drain the lines. Stay away from water near outlets or the electrical panel, then call us for emergency burst pipe repair. We answer 24/7.

Can I thaw frozen pipes myself?

Here's how to thaw frozen pipes safely: if the pipe is exposed and not cracked, open the tap it feeds and warm the pipe gently with a hair dryer, starting from the tap end. Never use a torch or open flame. If the pipe is inside a wall or you see a bulge, call a plumber.

Who fixes a frozen water service in Vaughan, the City or me?

The City of Vaughan is responsible for the water service beyond your property line. If all water to your home has stopped, call the City at 905-832-2281. The pipes from the property line into the house belong to the homeowner, and that's the part we thaw and repair.

How can I prevent pipes from freezing when I'm away?

The City of Vaughan recommends keeping the heat at 15°C or higher, shutting off the main water valve and draining the lines. Ask someone to check the house regularly. Many home insurance policies require this, so check yours before you leave.

Where can I get burst pipe repair near me in Vaughan?

Woke up to water all over our basement floor after a really cold night. Daniel found the split copper pipe behind the laundry area, replaced the damaged section and checked the other exposed pipes. Everything was back to normal that afternoon.

Our kitchen tap stopped working during the January cold snap. The plumber traced it to a frozen line along the outside wall and thawed it carefully. No broken drywall, which was a relief.

Pipe burst in our garage while we were away for the weekend. Bravo came out, isolated the damaged line and replaced the cracked section. They also explained what needed insulating before the next freeze. Really appreciated that part.

Called around 7 in the morning because a basement pipe had started spraying water. The technician showed up with the right parts, fixed the leak and made sure the pressure was holding before leaving. Solid work.
