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

Turn off your home’s main water valve, then open nearby faucets to relieve pressure. Warm the frozen section slowly with a hair dryer, heating pad, or warm towels. Do not use an open flame. Start from the faucet end and work back along the pipe. As it thaws, look and listen for leaks. If a pipe has split, stop and call a pro. Diamond handles leak repair, repiping, and 24/7 emergencies in Boise and Meridian. We use acoustic and thermal tools to find hidden leaks.
