Winter months call for frozen pipes. It is important to know how to prevent pipe damage to your building. 

Here is what you should do if you suspect you have frozen pipes.

1. Check with a neighbor to see if they’re experiencing frozen pipes too. If they have running water, it’s likely your pipes have frozen.
2. Turn off the water immediately using the main shut-off valve.
3. Open the faucet for water to flow through the pipe once the area is melted. 
4. Apply heat around the pipe using a hair dryer. Keep all heat sources away from flammable materials.
5. Once pipes are thawed, you can turn the water back on and check all joints for leaks.
6. Check all pipes and joints for leaks or cracks.

If there are still issues contact an experienced water restoration company.
