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

You can safely thaw a frozen pipe by turning off the water, opening nearby faucets, and warming the pipe slowly with a hair dryer or heating pad. Do not use an open flame. Start warming closest to the faucet to let melted ice drain.

• Shut off the main water valve.
• Open hot and cold taps to relieve pressure.
• Warm the pipe with a hair dryer, heating pad, or warm towels.
• Use a space heater to warm the room if needed.
• Check for leaks; if it bursts, keep water off and call us.
• Service available in Provo, Orem, and Lindon.
