Frozen Pipe Repair
Texas Plumbing Is Not Built for a Hard Freeze
In colder states, supply lines run inside the insulated envelope because the code grew up around freezing. Texas homes routinely run pipe through unconditioned attics, exterior walls and crawl spaces, because for most of the year that is completely fine.
Then a front parks over the Hill Country for three days and the whole region finds out at once. A frozen pipe has usually not split yet — the damage happens on the thaw, when the pressure that built behind the ice has somewhere to go. Getting it thawed properly is what prevents that.

How It Works
What a Frozen Pipe Repair Call Looks Like
No mystery, no pressure. You know the price before we pick up a tool.
-
You Call, We Schedule
Tell us what the system is doing. We book the soonest window that works for you — including nights and weekends, with no after-hours surcharge.
-
We Diagnose the Real Cause
A licensed technician tests the system rather than guessing from the symptom, so you are not paying to replace parts that were never the problem.
-
You Approve the Price First
We explain what failed, what it takes to fix it, and what it costs. Nothing gets done until you say go.
-
We Repair and Verify
Most repairs are finished on the first visit from parts already on the truck. We test the system before we leave and back the work in writing.
