Frozen & Burst Pipe Repair in Lehi
24/7 Pipe Thawing by Licensed Lehi Plumbers.
Frozen pipes are the number one winter emergency in Lehi. When overnight temperatures drop into the teens and single digits, water inside exterior walls, garages, and crawl spaces freezes, expands, and splits the pipe. The real damage happens when it thaws: a burst pipe can dump hundreds of gallons into a finished basement in a matter of hours. Water Damage Specialists provides 24/7 frozen pipe repair, professional pipe thawing, and burst pipe repair across Lehi, and because we're also a full water damage restoration company, one call handles the plumbing and the cleanup.

Frozen Pipes in Lehi
Lehi winters are cold enough to freeze pipes from December through February, and the wind that comes off Traverse Mountain and across the west side near Utah Lake makes it worse by pulling heat out of exterior walls. Even newer homes aren't immune: builders often run supply lines through garage ceilings, exterior walls, and over unheated porches to save on plumbing runs. When pipes freeze or burst, it's a plumbing emergency that should be addressed right away to avoid major water leaks, mold growth, and worsening plumbing issues.
Pipes most likely to freeze in a Lehi home:
Outdoor hose bibs and the supply line behind them, especially without frost-free spigots and during sharp drops in outdoor temperatures
Lines in exterior walls serving kitchens and bathrooms
Garage plumbing, including water heaters and laundry hookups
Crawl space and unfinished basement runs near foundation vents
Pipes in bonus rooms over garages
Irrigation backflow preventers and sprinkler mains that weren't blown out
Any home left empty with the thermostat turned down
Signs a pipe is frozen:
A faucet that trickles or produces nothing when others work fine
Frost or condensation on exposed pipe
A toilet that won't refill
Bulging or visible cracks in a pipe, which can point to damaged pipes
Strange smells from drains, which can indicate a frozen drain or vent line
Low flow at one fixture that suggests a frozen water line
Pipe Thawing Service in Lehi
Thawing a frozen pipe the wrong way is how homeowners turn a frozen pipe into a burst pipe or a house fire.
Never use an open flame, propane torch, or high-heat gun on a frozen line.
Our plumbers thaw pipes safely using controlled heat that works on copper, PEX, and galvanized lines, including pipes inside walls that can't be reached by hand. We locate the frozen section, thaw it gradually from the faucet side back toward the freeze, and inspect the entire run for splits before restoring pressure. If a pipe has already cracked, thawing it without repairing it first floods the house, so we check before we turn the water back on.
While you wait for us:
- Shut off the main water valve if you suspect a pipe has burst or if you can't tell whether it's cracked.
- Open the affected faucet so melting water and pressure have somewhere to go.
- Open cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls to let warm air reach the pipes.
- Keep the thermostat up and don't try to thaw the pipe with a torch.
- Call (385) 484-0777.
Burst Pipe Repair in Lehi, Utah
A frozen pipe doesn't usually burst while it's frozen. Ice blocks the line, pressure builds between the blockage and the closed faucet, and the pipe splits. Then the ice thaws and water pours out through the crack. That's why so many Lehi burst pipe calls come in during the warm-up after a cold snap, and why the damage is often discovered hours after it started. Our pipe repair services cover frozen and burst lines fast to help limit major water leaks and reduce further damage. We also provide burst pipe repair services for damaged pipes in exposed runs, walls, and ceilings, including the water line when freezing has caused a split.
Our burst pipe repair service includes:
Emergency shutoff and leak isolation
Locating the break, including inside walls and ceilings using moisture meters and thermal imaging
Repairing or replacing the damaged section in copper, PEX, or CPVC
Pressure testing the line before restoring service
Inspecting nearby runs that froze at the same time and may have hairline cracks
Insulating or rerouting the line so it doesn't freeze again
While you wait for us:
- Use hot, damp towels to gently warm an accessible frozen section
- In enclosed areas, a space heater can help thaw frozen pipes if it is positioned safely and not aimed with extreme heat
- If the frozen section is inaccessible, contact a professional instead of opening the wall or trying to overheat the pipe
Frozen Pipe Repair Cost in Lehi
Typical pricing for Lehi homeowners:
$150 – $1200
Pipe thawing (accessible pipe)
$300 – $1700
Pipe thawing (inside wall or ceiling)
$250 – $1800
Burst pipe repair, single section
$800 – $12,500
Burst pipe repair, multiple breaks or hard access
$150 – $800
Hose bib replacement with frost-free spigot
$200 – $3,000
Pipe insulation or rerouting to prevent refreezing
After-hours emergency service may carry an additional charge. The final price depends on pipe material, how many breaks there are, and whether drywall or ceiling has to be opened to reach the line. We give you a written price before work begins with upfront pricing, transparent pricing, and no hidden fees, and the estimate is free.
The bigger cost is almost always the water, not the pipe. A burst pipe that runs for a few hours into a finished Lehi basement typically means $5,000 to $20,000 in drying, drywall, flooring, and mold growth remediation. Fast response keeps that number down.
Burst Pipe Already Flooded the House?
This is where Water Damage Specialists is different from a plumber. We handle frozen pipes as a plumbing emergency and provide the cleanup in the same visit, with the same company, so you get plumbing help plus drying, documentation for your insurance claim, and one point of contact. Sudden pipe bursts are covered by most Utah homeowners policies, and we can bill most carriers directly.
Emergency plumbing to stop the leak and repair the pipe
Emergency water extraction and structural drying
Mold remediation if the water sat before it was found
Reconstruction to repair drywall, ceilings, flooring, and finishes
Support for related plumbing services when frozen lines lead to wider damage
Fast response for sewer backups before contamination spreads
We give you a free estimate with upfront pricing, a written price before work begins, and no hidden fees. Basement flooding can become expensive fast, and delayed cleanup raises the risk of mold growth.
Preventing Frozen Pipes in Lehi
A little prep in November saves a lot in January:
Disconnect garden hoses and install frost-free hose bibs or insulated covers
Blow out sprinkler systems and insulate backflow preventers
Insulate exposed pipes in garages, crawl spaces, and unfinished basements
Seal gaps where pipes pass through exterior walls
Keep the thermostat at 55°F or higher when you're away, even for a weekend
Let a faucet on an exterior wall drip on the coldest nights
Know where your main shutoff is before you need it
We offer winterization inspections and can insulate or reroute problem lines before the cold hits.
