How can I fix a frozen pipe safely without causing damage?

You can thaw a frozen pipe safely by shutting off water to that run, opening nearby faucets, and warming the pipe slowly with indirect heat. Do not use an open flame. After thawing, inspect for leaks before restoring full pressure. Summers offers pipe thawing and burst‑pipe repair with same‑day service in Kokomo and nearby areas.

Quick steps:

• Shut off the affected supply valve.
• Open hot and cold taps to relieve pressure.
• Apply gentle heat: hair dryer, heating pad, or warm towels.
• Never use a torch.
• Check for leaks, then restore water.
