EXPERT FROZEN PIPE prevention + REPAIR SERVICES
Northern Colorado's Single-Source Solution FOR: FROZEN PIPES
Probably one of the scarier plumbing issues because of the potential for serious damage to your piping system - inside the home and through your outdoor plumbing. Rex's Plumbing & Heating is here to eliminate the fear, care and repair.
A functional plumbing system is imperative, especially during our winter months. Frozen pipes happen - Low temperatures and quick temperature drops lead to water freezing and expanding inside the pipes, creating extreme pressure that may cause pipes to burst. Partnering with home and business owners across Northern Colorado, we assist our neighbors from Fort Collins to Longmont, from the mountain towns to the eastern plains and all the in-betweens.

OVERVIEW: FROZEN PIPES
REX'S PLUMBING & hEATING - APPROACH TO FROZEN PIPES
Nobody wants to think about their pipes freezing (let alone bursting) but with the team at Rex's Plumbing & Heating, we will respond immediately to thaw, repair and return your system to working order.
The Rex's Plumbing & Heating approach to frozen pipes:
- Pipe Inspection & Thawing - Our certified plumber will thoroughly inspect all of your pipes to determine the extent of the issue and/or any damage. We will start with the specific area and work out to make sure there are no other areas of concern. The inspection is crucial in helping us identify issues relevant to the freezing and to help make plans for future prevention. The pipe thawing process is achieved with industry specific tools and all pipes will be assessed for leaks and cracks as we proceed.
- Pipe Repair & Replacement - Upon consultation with the homeowner, if a pipe can be safely repaired it will be. If damages are too severe, pipe replacement may be required, and we can provide options for your new pipe replacement that will withstand cold temperatures given the situation to prevent recurrence.
- Prevention - After your system has been returned to working order, we will discuss with you a prevention plan that may include additional insulation, household temperature regulation, and other situational preventative measures.
Rex's Plumbing & Heating's frozen pipe Repair and Care Plan is a comprehensive approach to restoring your system and preventing future occurrences.
SIGNS YOU MAY HAVE A FROZEN PIPE:
WATER FLOW
If you have NO or LOW water flow from your water faucets and Colorado is experiencing significantly cold temperatures, you may have a frozen pipe. Ice inside the pipe will restrict the flow of water.
FROST
If there is frost or visible ice buildup on exposed pipes (crawlspace areas, attic space, pipes on exterior walls, exterior hose bibs...) this is your clear sign the pipe(s) are frozen.
STRANGE NOISES
Frozen pipes make unusual sounds - popping, banging and cracking sounds. These sounds will be distinctive and can be loud within your home. When the ice expands within the pipe, the pipe can shift and bend putting pressure on the surrounding materials including wood and metal.
UNPLEASANT ODOR
Bad or strange odors can become trapped when pipes freeze and if you notice sudden unusual smells from your pipes and drains it is time to have them inspected for potential freezing.
