Frozen Pipe Repair

Frequently Asked Questions

To avoid frozen pipes, insulate exposed plumbing, keep your heat on during cold snaps, and allow faucets to drip in vulnerable areas. Done offers winterization support and expert advice on how to protect your plumbing year-round. And with our Care Club, you get seasonal inspections that help catch risk factors before they freeze your system—and your day.

Not always—but they can. As water freezes, it expands and puts pressure on pipe walls. If a pipe can’t contain that pressure, it cracks or bursts. Even if it doesn’t rupture right away, damage can still occur. That’s why it’s so important to act fast. Done’s emergency plumbers are trained to respond quickly and help prevent a small issue from becoming a major disaster.

Professionals use safe techniques like pipe-safe heating devices, thermal imaging, and targeted access to thaw frozen pipes without damaging them. At Done, we never use open flames or risky DIY shortcuts. Instead, we focus on fast, effective solutions that restore water service and minimize long-term plumbing issues.

First, turn off your water main to reduce the risk of a burst. Then, open your faucets slightly to relieve pressure and avoid using open flames to thaw pipes. Your best move? Call Done’s emergency plumbing team. We respond 24/7 with the right tools and safe thawing methods to restore flow without risking your plumbing

Signs of frozen pipes include a significant decrease in water pressure or no water coming out of your faucets at all. You might also notice frost on visible pipes. Burst pipes are usually identified by water leaks or flooding in your home. If you suspect you have a frozen or burst pipe, it’s important to act quickly and call Done. We can swiftly diagnose the issue, thaw frozen pipes safely, and repair any damage to prevent extensive water damage to your home.

Frozen Pipes Don’t Wait—And Neither Should You

When the cold rolls into Aurora and the Greater Denver Metro, your plumbing doesn’t always keep up. In fact, frozen pipes are one of the most common—and costly—winter emergencies homeowners face. One minor freeze-up can block water flow, crack pipe walls, or even lead to a full rupture that floods your home. It happens fast, and the damage can be severe.

At Done Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric, we understand how unpredictable Colorado winters can be. That’s why we offer emergency plumbing services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week—to respond when frozen pipes strike and help prevent the worst-case scenario before it happens.

What Causes Pipes to Freeze?

It doesn’t take subzero temperatures to freeze a pipe. All it takes is a cold draft, poor insulation, or stagnant water sitting inside an exposed line. We often see pipes freeze:

  • In unheated basements, crawl spaces, and garages
  • Inside exterior walls that lack sufficient insulation
  • Behind cabinetry or sinks located on outside-facing walls
  • In irrigation systems or outdoor spigots that weren’t winterized

Colorado’s rapid temperature swings don’t help either. A sunny 40-degree afternoon can drop into the teens by midnight, freezing lines that seemed fine hours earlier.

How We Help When Your Pipes Freeze

If you wake up to no water—or worse, a flood—Done is ready to help. Our emergency plumbers are trained to quickly assess the situation, locate the frozen section, and safely thaw your pipes using specialized equipment.

We avoid risky methods like torches or boiling water. Instead, we use pipe-safe heating systems and thermal imaging to resolve the issue without adding further stress to your plumbing. And if the freeze caused a pipe to split or rupture, we handle that too. Our team is fully equipped for burst pipe repair, water damage control, and system recovery.

We don’t just stop the problem—we help prevent the next one. After repairs, we inspect your plumbing for other vulnerable spots and recommend upgrades or insulation improvements to help protect your home moving forward.

Prevention Is Part of the Plan

We know what to look for—because we’ve seen it all.

Many frozen pipe calls we receive could’ve been avoided with small changes. But it takes an expert eye to spot those risks before the freeze.

That’s why we include plumbing inspections and seasonal recommendations in our broader service offerings. Our technicians are trained to assess high-risk areas and show you how to prevent pipe freezes long before they become emergencies. We can:

  • Add insulation to vulnerable piping
  • Advise on safe drip strategies during deep freezes
  • Identify outdated materials more prone to freezing or bursting
  • Seal air leaks and cold drafts that affect interior plumbing
