Which pipes are most at risk of freezing in Portland?

Pipes in uninsulated crawl spaces, pipes in exterior walls with insufficient insulation, and hose bib connections are the highest risk. Portland homes built before 1950 often have less insulation around plumbing runs in exterior walls.

What should I do if my pipes are frozen?

Open the faucet that the frozen pipe serves — this relieves pressure as the thaw progresses. Apply heat with a hair dryer or portable heater to the exterior wall section. Never use an open flame. If you can't locate the freeze or the pipe has already burst, call us immediately.

How do I know if a frozen pipe has already burst?

If the pipe thaws and no water runs at the faucet, or if water starts coming from a wall or ceiling as it thaws, the pipe has burst. Shut off the main supply valve immediately and call us — burst repairs are time-sensitive.

Does homeowner's insurance cover frozen pipe damage?

Most policies cover frozen pipe bursts if the home was reasonably heated. If the home was left without heat (vacation) without taking precautions, some policies exclude coverage. We provide detailed documentation of the freeze event and damage for your claim.
