Get Expert Solutions for Frozen Pipes in Sioux Falls

Fast Repairs & Replacements

For Sioux Falls plumbing, frozen pipes are one of the most common winter plumbing emergencies. The water inside your plumbing can freeze faster than you expect when South Dakota temperatures plunge below zero. As ice forms and expands, it presses against the inside of your pipes, which can warp the line or cause it to split entirely. A burst pipe can send water throughout your home, ruin belongings, and damage floors and walls in minutes.

When freezing weather strikes, you need trusted plumbing experts ready to jump into action. The team at Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Sioux Falls proudly tackles all your plumbing needs, no matter the weather, with our Done Right Promise and flat-rate pricing. We’re here for comprehensive solutions for frozen pipes in Sioux Falls, Brandon, Harrisburg, Buffalo Ridge, and nearby communities. If you’re dealing with a frozen line, a slow leak, or a full rupture, call our local crew for fast, reliable help.

Your Water Pipes are Frozen. What Now?

Bitter Arctic air and windchill can freeze plumbing lines quickly, making frozen pipes in Sioux Falls and the surrounding area a frequent winter headache. If you discover a problem, reach out to our plumbing pros right away so we can send help as soon as possible. While we’re on the way, you can take a few simple steps to minimize damage and protect your home:

  • Turn off the main water supply feeding the affected line, then open nearby faucets to release built-up pressure
  • Raise your thermostat a few degrees to warm the surrounding area
  • Gently warm the frozen pipe with a safe heat source, such as a hair dryer or heat lamp — never use an open flame or place an electric heater directly against the pipe
  • If water starts dripping or pooling as the line thaws, set out buckets or containers to catch it and prevent floor damage

After you’ve taken these precautions, our team will take it from there. We’ll inspect the pipe, determine the extent of the freeze or damage, and make the necessary repairs to get your plumbing back to normal.
