If your pipes are frozen but haven’t burst, acting quickly can prevent serious damage. At B. Carlson Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing, Inc., our licensed plumbers use safe, professional thawing techniques—never open flames or shortcuts—to gently restore water flow without compromising the pipe’s integrity.
We’ll first inspect the affected areas to identify the freeze point, then use proven methods like targeted heat application and pipe-safe equipment to warm and thaw the lines gradually. Once water is flowing again, we’ll assess the system for stress or cracks and recommend insulation or rerouting options to help prevent future freezes.
There are a few key signs that your pipes may be frozen—especially during cold snaps in Albuquerque. If you turn on a faucet and only a trickle comes out (or nothing at all), that’s a strong indicator. You might also notice unusual sounds like banging or clanking when using your plumbing, or visible frost on exposed pipes.
Other warning signs include strange odors coming from drains or toilets (caused by trapped air or backed-up sewage) and extremely cold areas on your walls or floors. If you suspect a frozen pipe, don’t wait. Call B. Carlson right away. We’ll send a licensed plumber to assess the situation and safely thaw the line before it becomes a bigger problem.
First, don’t panic—but act quickly. Shut off your home’s main water supply immediately to stop the flow and minimize water damage. If it’s safe to do so, turn off electricity to the affected area. Then, call B. Carlson Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing, Inc. right away.
Our team is available 24 hours to handle plumbing emergencies like burst pipes. We’ll dispatch a licensed technician to assess the damage, make prompt repairs, and ensure the rest of your plumbing system is safe. Since 1971, Albuquerque homeowners have relied on us to deliver fast, reliable help when they need it most. We’ll not only fix the issue—we’ll help prevent it from happening again.
Preventing frozen pipes starts with a few smart precautions. During colder months, keep your home heated to at least 55°F—even when you’re away. Let faucets drip slightly to keep water moving, and open cabinet doors under sinks to circulate warm air around pipes. It’s also a good idea to insulate exposed pipes in unheated areas like garages, attics, and crawl spaces.
For long-term protection, B. Carlson Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing, Inc. offers professional pipe insulation, system winterization, and home plumbing evaluations to help you prepare before the freeze hits. As part of our Home Maintenance Care Club, we also provide routine inspections to catch vulnerabilities early. With a little planning and the right support, frozen pipes are one winter worry you won’t have to face alone.
Whether it’s a minor freeze or a full emergency, we’re committed to delivering long-term peace of mind with every repair. This is why every frozen pipe service from B. Carlson is backed by our Home Comfort Guarantee—so you can count on expert workmanship, transparent pricing, and reliable results from start to finish.

When winter weather settles into Albuquerque, frozen pipes can sneak up fast—and bring your entire plumbing system to a stop. If your water suddenly won’t flow or your pipes feel icy cold, don’t wait for them to burst. At B. Carlson Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing, Inc., we’ve been helping local families deal with frozen pipes quickly and safely since 1971.
Whether it’s a minor freeze in your kitchen or a full shutoff in your crawl space, our team is trained to respond fast, thaw your pipes the right way, and restore water to your home without causing damage.
Even in the Southwest, freezing temperatures can hit hard—especially overnight or during cold snaps. Pipes are most at risk when they’re exposed to unheated spaces like garages, crawlspaces, attics, and exterior walls. If the water inside them drops below 32°F, it can freeze and expand—creating pressure that leads to burst pipes and major damage.
That’s why it’s essential to recognize the signs early and call in a licensed plumber at the first sign of trouble. With decades of experience in the region, B. Carlson understands how to spot and solve freeze-prone areas in Albuquerque homes before they turn into costly emergencies.
The most common sign of a frozen pipe? Turning on a faucet and getting little to no water. You might also hear banging in the walls or notice frost on exposed lines. If this happens, shut off your water supply and call in the experts.
B. Carlson’s plumbers use safe, professional thawing techniques to restore water flow without damaging the line. We never use open flames or risky shortcuts. Instead, we apply gradual heat and pressure monitoring to ensure your system comes back online safely.
And if a pipe has already burst, we’re available 24 hours for emergency plumbing repair and water line replacement—helping you minimize water damage and restore your home as quickly as possible.
