When you call, we’ll give you a realistic timeframe based on your specific situation and our current schedule. No false promises, just honest communication about when help will arrive.
First, turn on the affected faucets slightly to allow water to drip—moving water is harder to freeze completely. Then locate your main water shutoff valve in case a pipe bursts while thawing.
If you can safely access the frozen section, you can try gentle heat from a hair dryer or space heater. Never use open flames or high heat, as this can damage pipes or create safety hazards. Keep the faucet open as you work.
If you see water damage or can’t locate the frozen area, call us immediately. Hanover’s older homes often have pipes in exterior walls or unheated spaces that are particularly vulnerable. We have the tools and experience to thaw pipes safely and check for damage that might cause problems later.
Plumbing repair costs vary based on the specific problem, but we provide upfront pricing before any work begins. Simple fixes like unclogging drains might cost $150-300, while more complex repairs like replacing water lines can range from $400-1,500.
