Know the signs

Signs a pipe is frozen.

Catch it before it thaws. A frozen pipe often splits, and the leak starts when the ice melts.

No water at one tap

A faucet on an outside wall or above a crawl space that gives a trickle or nothing.

Frost on a pipe

Frost on an exposed line in a crawl space, garage or unheated basement.

A hose still attached

A hose left on a hose bibb traps water, and the bibb splits inside the wall.

Water where the pipe runs

Damp drywall or water in the crawl space once the weather warms.

How it works

Thaw. Repair. Protect.

Thaw it, fix what split, then keep it from happening again.

  1. 01

    Thaw

    With a heat gun or an electric thaw machine, never an open flame.

  2. 02

    Repair

    Anything that split is repaired at an upfront price.

  3. 03

    Protect

    Frost-free bibbs where hoses froze, and winterizing for houses left empty.

Questions

Frozen pipes & winterizing, answered.

Answers from licensed plumbers. Still unsure? Call (509) 535-5946, 24 hours a day.

What do I do if a pipe is frozen?
Open the faucet it feeds, and know where your main shut-off is in case the pipe has split. Never use an open flame. Then call us: in a Spokane winter a frozen pipe is an emergency, and thawing starts from $255.
How do I keep pipes from freezing?
Insulate pipes in crawl spaces, garages and outside walls. In a hard freeze, let a faucet on the coldest run drip and open the cabinet doors under sinks. Disconnect garden hoses before the first freeze: a hose left on is one of the most common causes of a burst hose bibb in the Inland Northwest.
How much does it cost to thaw a frozen pipe?
At Gold Seal, thawing an exposed pipe with a heat gun starts from $255, and with an electric thaw machine from $511. On an emergency response, thawing starts from $511. Repairing a split pipe is priced separately.
What is a frost-free hose bibb?
An outside faucet whose valve sits inside the warm part of the wall, so the water left in it drains out instead of freezing. A new one starts from $422. It only works if the hose is disconnected for winter.
How much does it cost to winterize a house?
Winterizing a house with 1-1/2 baths starts from $1,108 at Gold Seal, 2-1/2 baths from $1,406 and 3-1/2 baths from $1,577. Turning the water back on in spring starts from $766.
