Frozen Pipe Risks in Absecon

Absecon’s coastal location moderates winter temperatures, but cold snaps do occur, and homes with exposed pipes in crawlspaces, exterior walls, and attics are vulnerable. When water freezes in a pipe, it expands with tremendous force — enough to split copper and burst PVC. The real danger is not the ice itself but the flooding that occurs when the ice thaws and the cracked pipe releases water.

Our Pipe Thawing Process

  1. Assessment — We locate the frozen section using thermal imaging and pressure testing.
  2. Controlled thawing — Electric heat cables and targeted heat safely melt ice without damaging the pipe.
  3. Leak check — After thawing, we pressure-test the pipe to confirm it did not crack.
  4. Repair if needed — If the pipe is damaged, we repair or replace the section.
  5. Prevention — We recommend insulation and heat tape to prevent recurrence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I keep faucets dripping during cold weather?

Yes. A slow drip prevents water from freezing in pipes. Open cabinet doors under sinks to expose pipes to warm air.

What temperature do pipes freeze?

Pipes can freeze when temperatures drop below 20°F for several hours. Wind chill accelerates the process.
