Frozen pipes are a New Hampshire winter emergency. Learn how to prevent them, how to thaw them safely, and when to call an emergency plumber for frozen pipe repair.
(888) 480-9811Pipes in exterior walls, crawlspaces, garages, unheated basements and under kitchen sinks on outside walls freeze first. Outdoor spigots that were not drained are next.
Disconnect hoses and shut off outdoor spigots. Insulate exposed pipes. Keep cabinet doors open on outside-wall sinks during cold snaps. Keep the house above 55°F even when away. Let a faucet drip on the coldest nights.
Open the faucet, warm the area with a hair dryer or space heater — never a torch — and call a plumber. A frozen pipe may already be split and will flood when it thaws.
