Straight answers
Common questions about frozen pipe thawing & repair.
Every home and system is different. These answers help you prepare; an on-site diagnosis confirms the right next step.
Ask another questionShould I use an open flame to thaw a pipe?
No. Open flames create fire and pipe-damage risks; use safe methods or call a plumber.
What should I do if a frozen pipe bursts?
Shut off the main water supply if safe, avoid electrical hazards, and request urgent service.
Can a frozen pipe leak only after it thaws?
Yes. Ice can temporarily block a split, so the pipe should be watched and inspected as flow returns.

We called McHenry Plumbing on Friday to get an estimate to repair the hot water heater issue and discussed the situation with them. Based on the quote we received and age of the unit we decided to replace it. They scheduled us on Monday. The two plumbers arrived when scheduled and were professional and pleasant and were finished in about 2.5-3 hours. I would recommend this company and will use them in the future if we need their services.
Excellent service! Our sump pump went out and we had water in the basement, McHenry Plumbing (Heating & Air) sent Butch over asap. I can't say enough about Butch, he was excellent! He took the time to explain everything to me, such a nice guy, very professional and great to work with! Thanks so much!
