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

Thaw a frozen pipe slowly with gentle heat and be ready to shut off water. Use a hair dryer, space heater, or warm towels on the pipe, starting at the faucet end and moving toward the frozen section. Never use an open flame. If the pipe cracks or you can’t reach it, keep the main water off and call a pro. AirCo handles pipe repair and non-invasive leak detection using video cameras and sensors.

• Turn off the main water valve, open nearby faucets, then apply gentle heat.
