Frozen water pipe in the basement of a Northglenn, CO home

⚠ Pipe frozen or burst? Do this before you call:

  1. If a pipe has burst, shut off the main water valve. If it's frozen but not split, open the faucet it feeds — that relieves pressure as the ice melts.
  2. Never aim a torch or open flame at a pipe. Gentle heat only — a hair dryer, warm towels, or a space heater running in the room.
  3. Clear valuables and electronics out of finished basements below the line — a frozen pipe often splits, and the water arrives when it thaws.
  4. Call — describe which fixtures lost water, where the pipe runs (wall, crawlspace, garage), and whether you can see a split or a leak.

Built for Northglenn homes

Northglenn was built fast in the 1960s and 70s — ranch homes with basements, galvanized and early copper plumbing, and water lines run along exterior walls and through basement ceilings. Those layouts made sense for their era, but after fifty-plus Colorado winters the pipe walls are thinner, the insulation is tired, and the freeze risk concentrates in the same places: north and east walls, crawlspace runs, garage walls, and the hose bibs everyone forgets to drain in the fall.

Front Range weather does the rest. A mild afternoon can be followed by a single-digit night when an arctic front drops down the plains — pipes that were fine at dinner are frozen by morning, and the split only shows itself at thaw, often above a finished basement where a ceiling of drywall sits under an upstairs bathroom line. Local plumbing pros read these houses the way they were built: they know which runs freeze first in a Northglenn ranch and where a split likes to hide. When you describe the symptom, they already have a short list of suspects.

How it works

How it works

Have this ready when you call — which fixtures lost water, where you think the pipe runs, and whether you can see water anywhere. It helps the provider arrive prepared, and it keeps your call focused.

1

Call the number above

Describe the problem: the fixture that's dead, the sound of running water in a wall, the stain spreading across a ceiling. They'll tell you what to do with the shutoff valve in the meantime and what the visit will involve.

2

An independent local pro takes it from there

Your provider locates the frozen, split, or leaking section, explains what they find in plain terms, and lays out the repair before any work starts. No vague verbal summaries.

3

The line is repaired and pressure-tested

The damaged section is repaired or replaced, the line is brought back up to pressure, and the full run is checked for other splits before anything is closed up. One call starts the whole process.

Common questions

Pipe Repair questions, answered

Why do pipes freeze so often in Northglenn?
Front Range cold snaps are sudden. An arctic front can drop temperatures from mild to single digits overnight, and wind drives the cold into exterior walls, crawlspaces, and garage runs. Northglenn's 1960s and 70s ranch homes route a lot of plumbing through exactly those cold zones — basement ceilings, outside walls, and hose bib lines — so a hard freeze finds the weak runs quickly. Local pros see the same addresses' worth of patterns every winter: the kitchen sink on the north wall, the upstairs bathroom line, the bib nobody drained.
What should I do the moment I find a burst pipe?
Shut off the main water valve first — that stops the damage clock. Then open a faucet or two to drain the line, and keep water away from outlets, lights, and electrical panels. Move what you can out of the wet area, especially in a finished basement. Then call and describe where the water is coming from and where it has spread. Your provider will take it from there; the shutoff is the step that matters most and it's yours to do.
How can I tell a pipe is frozen before it bursts?
The classic signs: a faucet that ran fine yesterday gives nothing — or just a trickle — after a cold night, while other fixtures in the house still work. Frost on an exposed pipe in the basement or crawlspace is another giveaway, and a section of pipe that looks swollen or bulged is ice under pressure. If one room's plumbing is dead and the rest of the house is fine, suspect a frozen run feeding that room and call before the thaw does.
Which pipes in my home are at most risk?
Any line that runs through an unheated or poorly insulated zone: exterior walls (especially north and east), crawlspaces, garages, and the short stubs that feed outdoor hose bibs. In Northglenn's ranch homes, upstairs bathroom lines above finished basements deserve special attention — when those split, the water lands in the rooms below. If a run has frozen once, it belongs on your watch list every winter.
Can I thaw a pipe myself safely?
Sometimes, with patience and the right method: open the faucet the pipe feeds, then apply gentle heat — a hair dryer, a space heater in the room, towels soaked in warm water — starting near the faucet and working back. Never use a torch, a heat gun on high, or any open flame; that's how fires start and pipes get damaged. If the pipe is inside a wall, if you can't reach the frozen section, or if you see any split or drip, stop and call a provider.
What do local plumbers do on a frozen-pipe call?
Your provider traces the line from the dead fixture to find the frozen section, thaws it with controlled heat while the faucet stays open, and then — the important part — checks the entire run under pressure as flow returns. Ice often splits a pipe somewhere other than the freeze point, and that split only reveals itself at thaw. Any damaged section gets repaired, and your provider will point out the insulation or heat-cable options for that run so the next cold snap goes differently.
Which areas do local plumbers serve?
Northglenn is home base, and independent pros connected through this site serve the surrounding north Denver metro towns including Thornton, Westminster, Broomfield, Federal Heights, Brighton, Commerce City, Lafayette, Louisville, Erie, and Denver. If you're nearby and dealing with a frozen, burst, or leaking pipe, call and they'll tell you straight whether they can reach you.
How do I keep pipes from freezing during the next cold snap?
The proven list: insulate exposed runs in basements, crawlspaces, and garages; disconnect garden hoses and shut off the interior valves to hose bibs before the first freeze; open cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls so warm room air reaches the pipes; let faucets on outside walls drip slowly during the coldest nights; and keep the house heated even when you're away. Ask your provider which of these your home's layout needs most — the at-risk runs differ by house.
We came home to water in the basement — what now?
Shut off the main valve if water is still coming, and take photos of everything before you move or dry anything — they're your record of what happened. Then call and describe what you found: where the water is, which ceiling or wall it came through, and which fixtures are affected. Your provider will assess the line and the damage. Drying the space out matters too — standing water and soaked drywall cause their own damage the longer they sit.
Our water pressure dropped everywhere during the cold snap — is that a frozen main line?
It can be. When pressure falls at every fixture in the house rather than just one, the problem often sits in the main water line or the section of pipe where water enters the home. Your provider can isolate it with meter and shutoff tests — house plumbing versus the service line — and tell you which side the freeze or break is on before any digging or opening up happens.
