Seasonal note for Houghton: demand for frozen pipe repair spikes during the first hard freeze and the spring thaw. If you can book before the cold sets in, do — and if it has already happened, call now rather than waiting for the thaw.

The problem

Water expands as it freezes and splits the pipe from the inside. The damage is invisible until the thaw, when the split opens and the water comes out all at once.

What we do about it in Houghton

Frozen pipe calls in Houghton are quoted flat, with thawing and any resulting repair priced separately and clearly.

How frozen pipe repair works, step by step

  1. Locate the frozen section

    No flow at one fixture is local. No flow anywhere means the freeze is closer to the main.

  2. Thaw it under control

    Controlled heat, never an open flame. We watch for splits as the ice releases.

  3. Repair any splits

    Frozen pipe often splits in more than one place, so we check the entire cold run.

  4. Prevent the repeat

    Insulation, heat tape and rerouting exposed runs so next January is uneventful.

What customers say

Sump pump quit during a storm with the power out. They installed a battery backup along with the new pump. Slept fine during the next one.

Grace M., Houghton, MISump pump installation

Disposal was humming and the sink was full. He cleared the jam, then found the real problem was further down the kitchen line and cleared that too. One visit.

Trevor A., Houghton, MIGarbage disposal repair

Called at 11pm with water coming through the kitchen ceiling. Someone picked up, talked me through the shutoff, and had a plumber at the house before midnight. The price he quoted was the price I paid.

Frozen Pipe Repair in Houghton: common questions

Can I thaw a frozen pipe with a torch?

Please don't. Open flame on a pipe is a leading cause of house fires in winter, and it can boil water trapped in the ice and burst the pipe. Controlled heat and patience are the right approach.

Nothing comes out of one faucet but the others work.

That's a localized freeze, usually on an exterior wall. Open the faucet so melting water has somewhere to go, keep the cabinet doors open, and call before the thaw releases a split.

We quote flat by the job, not by the hour. You get the full number before any work starts, so the invoice matches the quote. There is no meter running while you decide.
