Often, the damage is not discovered until the pipe thaws and begins leaking, causing costly water damage behind walls, ceilings, crawlspaces, or basements.

WHY FROZEN PIPES BURST
When temperatures drop below freezing, water trapped inside plumbing pipes expands as it turns to ice. Because water has nowhere to go inside a closed pipe, pressure builds until the pipe cracks or bursts. The break often doesn’t begin leaking until temperatures rise and the ice melts, which is why many homeowners discover water damage hours after the coldest part of the day.

WHAT TO DO IF YOUR PIPES FREEZE
If you suspect a frozen pipe, acting quickly can help prevent a small problem from becoming a major flood. Never use an open flame or excessive heat to thaw frozen plumbing, as this can damage the pipe or create a fire hazard. If you’re unsure where the frozen section is located or a pipe has already burst, it’s safest to shut off the water supply and contact a licensed plumber.

SIGNS YOUR PIPES MAY BE FROZEN
Frozen pipes don’t always stop working completely. In many cases, homeowners first notice subtle changes in water pressure or unusual sounds before a pipe bursts. Recognizing these warning signs early can help prevent extensive water damage and costly repairs.
WHY PIPES FREEZE IN CHILLIWACK HOMES
Chilliwack’s winter temperatures occasionally fall below freezing, especially overnight. While newer homes often have better insulation, many older homes, mobile homes, and buildings with exposed plumbing remain vulnerable to frozen water lines. Understanding why pipes freeze can help homeowners prevent costly burst pipes and water damage before it happens.
Common Causes of Frozen Pipes
How to Help Prevent Frozen Pipes
- Plumbing in unheated crawlspaces
- Water lines inside exterior walls
- Poor or missing pipe insulation
- Mobile homes with exposed water lines
- Attached garages without heat
- Outdoor hose bibs left connected
- Vacant homes with reduced heating
- Sudden Fraser Valley cold snaps
- Keep indoor temperatures consistent
- Disconnect garden hoses before winter
- Insulate exposed water lines
- Seal drafts around plumbing penetrations
- Allow warm air into cabinets during cold weather
- Let faucets drip during extreme cold
- Maintain heat in crawlspaces where possible
- Schedule plumbing inspections if you're concerned
Even with proper precautions, frozen pipes can still occur during prolonged cold weather. If you lose water pressure or suspect a frozen water line, early intervention can often prevent a burst pipe and significantly reduce repair costs.
