How can I fix a frozen pipe safely without causing damage?

To thaw a frozen pipe safely, shut off the water, open the faucet, and warm the pipe slowly with a hair dryer or warm towels. Start at the faucet and move toward the ice. Do not use open flames. If you see bulges, cracks, or leaks, stop and call a pro. Advanced Plumbing & Rooter Service offers leak detection, pipe repair, and 24/7 emergency response in Oakland and nearby cities.
