-
1
Stay safe first
If water is near outlets, light fixtures, or appliances, turn off power to that area at the breaker. Do not step into standing water until you know it is safe.
-
2
Shut off the main water valve
Find the main shutoff for the home and turn it clockwise until it stops. This cuts the flow at the source and limits further damage.
-
3
Open a nearby faucet
Open the closest faucet to drain the remaining water from the lines. This relieves pressure and slows the leak.
-
4
Protect belongings and mop up
Move valuables, rugs, and paperwork to dry ground. Mop or towel up standing water to protect floors and walls.

Frozen Pipe Questions, Answered
Spokane winters are hard on plumbing. Here are the questions we hear most from homeowners, with straight answers so you know what to do before you pick up the phone.
How can I keep my pipes from freezing in a Spokane winter?
Keep the heat on in the house, even when you are away, and let faucets drip during deep cold snaps. Open cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls so warm air can reach the pipes.
Is it safe to thaw a frozen pipe myself?
Use gentle warmth only, such as a hair dryer on low, and never use an open flame. If you cannot find the frozen section or the pipe has already split, shut the water off and call us at (509) 555-0142.
Do you give upfront quotes for frozen pipe repairs?
Yes. We assess the damage on site and give you a written quote before any work starts, so you know the cost and approve it first.
Can a leak from a frozen pipe be fixed without repiping the whole house?
Often, yes. A single split section can usually be repaired on its own, but if several lines are failing, it may be time to look at a broader fix. We will explain the difference on our whole house repipe page and during your assessment.
