The Damage Usually Appears on the Thaw
Albuquerque does not freeze often, which is exactly why so much local plumbing is under-protected. When a genuine cold snap arrives, water in an uninsulated line expands and splits the pipe — but often nothing is visible until it thaws and starts flowing again.
The vulnerable runs are consistent: crawl spaces, exterior walls, unheated garages, and hose bibs left connected to a hose over winter.
- Thawed Safely Controlled thawing rather than an open flame, which is a genuine fire risk.
- Split Sections Replaced Damaged runs cut out and replaced rather than patched over.
- Protected Afterward Insulation and, where appropriate, heat tape so it does not repeat.
What We See
Signs of a Frozen or Split Line
Act quickly on these.
-
No Water From One Fixture
A frozen section, and it may already be split.
-
Frost or Bulging on a Pipe
Visible frost or deformation means it is frozen and at risk.
-
Water Appearing on Thaw
The classic pattern — the split reveals itself when flow returns.
-
Pressure Drop After a Freeze
Suggests a split somewhere in the system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do if a pipe bursts?
Shut off the water at the main immediately, then call. Getting the water off is the single most important thing.
Can I thaw it with a hair dryer?
Gentle warm air can work on an accessible pipe, but never use an open flame. If it is inside a wall or you are unsure, call us.
How do I prevent this next winter?
Insulate exposed runs, disconnect garden hoses, keep the garage closed, and let a tap drip on the coldest nights.
Do you work on frozen lines after hours?
Yes — freezes happen overnight and we dispatch 24/7.
