Understanding the Causes of Frozen Pipes in Residential and Commercial Buildings
Pipes can freeze when temperatures drop below 20 degrees Fahrenheit and they are exposed to the cold air for a prolonged period. The water that runs through the pipes expands and puts immense pressure on them, which can lead to cracks or breaking. While frozen pipes can burst, that is not always the case. They have an increased chance of bursting when exposed to below-freezing temperatures, but that can be avoided when you take the proper precautions.
Pipe freezing commonly occurs in these areas:
Along the cabinets and exterior walls.
Unheated spaces, such as basements, attics, crawl spaces or garages.

Preventive Measures to Avoid Frozen and Burst Pipes in Winter
Frozen pipes do more than interfere with the water supply — they can burst and wreak havoc on your property when left unaddressed. With effective frozen pipe prevention and repair, you can avoid severe damage and safeguard your pipes and home. Here are some preventive measures you can take:
- Insulate pipes: Add insulation to pipes as extra protection from the freezing temperatures.
- Open cabinet doors: Keep your thermostat steady, and open bathroom and kitchen cabinets so the warm air circulates the pipework.
- Let the faucet drip: Allow small trickles to run — this will create a consistent flow of water that can prevent freezing.
- Seal cracks: Seal and caulk any openings around the pipes and walls that could allow cold air to seep in and freeze the pipes.

Navigating Frozen Pipes: Do’s and Don’ts
You may be tempted to act fast when you realize your pipes are already frozen, but knowing what you can and cannot do is crucial to avoid escalating the situation.
- Do not attempt thawing frozen pipes with a blowtorch, open flames, propane torches or other flame appliances.
- Do not use electric or gas heaters.
- Do call a professional.
