A combination of aging infrastructure and exposed pipes means frozen pipes are surprisingly common Virginia Beach, and when pipes freeze, they expand and may eventually burst, making a bad situation a lot worse.
If your pipes have frozen, contact Mr. Rooter® today and get an experienced emergency frozen pipe plumber on the job. We’re available 24/7 and can safely thaw your pipes and repair any damage.
We also offer pipe winterization in Virginia Beach to protect exposed pipes.
What to Do If a Pipe Freezes or Bursts
If your pipes have frozen, don’t try to thaw them yourself, as you may damage them. Simply turn off the main water valve, open faucets to relieve pressure, and contact us for emergency frozen pipe repair in Virginia Beach. If you couldn’t contact us in time and your pipes have burst, shut off the water, turn off the electricity near the damaged pipe, and call immediately.
Types of Frozen Pipe Repairs We Perform
We work with all pipe materials (including copper, PVC, and PEX) and service commercial and residential properties across Virginia Beach. We thaw frozen pipes and repair burst pipes quickly and with long-lasting solutions, and we can also prevent frozen pipes by installing insulation or rerouting.
Residential & Rental Property Services
Despite the subtropical climate, cold weather plumbing damage is very common in Virginia Beach. Over the years, we’ve worked on all property types for customers across the city, thawing pipes for single-family homes and townhouses, insulating for vacation homes, repairing for rental properties, and more.
Preventing Frozen Pipes in Virginia Beach
To prevent frozen pipes, insulate exposed pipes in garages, crawl spaces, and attics, let faucets drip when the mercury edges toward freezing, seal drafts near plumbing lines, and install pipe heating cables/wraps where needed. If you suspect that you’re not adequately prepared, contact us and ask about our winterization services.
