What to Do If You Suspect a Frozen Pipe

  • Turn off the main water supply valve immediately to limit potential flooding if the pipe bursts.
  • Do not use open flames or heat guns directly on pipes—this can cause fires or crack the pipe.
  • Open cabinet doors under sinks to allow warmer air to circulate around supply lines
  • Call A. Stevens Plumbing & Heating at (845) 496-5903 for professional thawing and repair.

The Risk of Burst Pipes

When water freezes inside a pipe, it expands with tremendous pressure — enough to split copper, galvanized steel, or plastic piping. A burst pipe can release hundreds of gallons of water in a short period, causing severe damage to floors, walls, ceilings, and personal property. Quick professional intervention is the best way to limit that damage and restore your plumbing to full function.

Preventing Frozen Pipes Before Winter

The best frozen pipe repair is the one that never needs to happen. Our team can evaluate your plumbing during the fall to identify pipes in unheated spaces — crawl spaces, exterior walls, garages, and attics — that may be at risk when temperatures drop. Insulating those lines or rerouting them where practical is far less expensive than dealing with a burst pipe in January.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I know if a frozen pipe has already burst?

    Signs of a burst pipe include water stains on ceilings or walls, the sound of running or dripping water inside the structure, reduced water pressure throughout the home even after the main is on, and visible moisture or puddles in unexpected areas. If you suspect a burst, shut off the main water supply and call us immediately.

  • Can I thaw a frozen pipe myself?

    You can apply gentle, indirect heat—such as a hair dryer on a low setting kept several inches from the pipe—to a frozen section you can access, but this should be done cautiously and only when you're certain the pipe has not already burst. For pipes inside walls, in crawl spaces, or in areas you can't safely access, always call a professional.

  • Will my homeowner's insurance cover burst pipe damage?

    Most standard homeowner's insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage from burst pipes, including the cost of drying out and repairing affected areas. Coverage for the pipe repair itself varies by policy. We recommend contacting your insurance provider promptly when a burst pipe occurs and documenting the damage thoroughly before any cleanup begins.
