Preventing and Addressing Frozen Pipes in Homes in Grand Rapids, Minnesota?

2/18/2025 (Permalink)

We restore frozen pipe damage 24/7 in Itasca County.

Our Bemidji, Grand Rapids, and Hibbing teams restore water damage caused by broken pipes every winter. Frozen pipes can significantly damage homes, causing flooding and costly repairs. Homeowners must act swiftly to mitigate damage when pipes freeze or burst.

First, shut off the water supply to prevent more water from flowing into the damaged pipe. Then, open the faucets to relieve pressure and allow water to escape once the pipe begins to thaw. Carefully use a hair dryer or heating pad to warm the frozen section of the pipe, but avoid open flames, as they can create a fire hazard.

Clean up standing water immediately if a pipe has already burst to prevent structural damage and mold growth. Document the damage for your insurance claim and call our team of professionals to handle the restoration.

Insulate vulnerable areas, such as attics, crawl spaces, and exterior walls, to prevent future pipe freezing. On frigid nights, keep cabinet doors open to allow warm air to circulate around pipes and let a small stream of water flow from faucets to keep water moving.

Taking these steps helps homeowners address frozen pipe issues effectively and protect their homes from further damage.
