Frozen Pipes in Winter: Prevention and Solutions

Calgary's freezing winters can cause pipes to freeze, leading to bursts and extensive water damage. The best prevention is insulating your pipes, especially those in unheated spaces like basements or crawl spaces.

You can also let a trickle of water run from faucets to keep the flow going during extremely cold nights. If your pipes freeze, turn off the main water supply immediately and try to thaw the pipe using a hairdryer or heating pad—never use an open flame as it could cause further damage. 

To avoid the hassle, schedule a professional inspection. Our team offers 24/7 emergency service to repair frozen or burst pipes before they lead to major damage.
