About Frozen Pipes in Minneapolis

Frozen pipes are more than an inconvenience; they are a serious threat to your home. In Minneapolis, frozen pipes are common due to frequent subzero temperatures, older houses, and exposed plumbing in poorly insulated basements and crawl spaces. When water freezes inside pipes, the ice expands, building pressure until the pipe cracks or bursts. 

If you notice signs of a frozen pipe, call Dean’s Home Repair for pipe repair in Minneapolis. We’ll address your frozen pipes promptly to prevent issues like water and property damage, mold growth, and costly repairs

Frozen Pipe Prevention & Homeowner Tips

While our pipe repair services are the best in the area, it’s still best to avoid the issue altogether. Prevention is key when it comes to frozen pipes. Here are some frozen pipe prevention tips in MN to help you keep your pipes safe during the colder months:

  • Insulate pipes in unheated areas like basements, attics, and garages.
  • Insulate exposed plumbing near exterior walls.
  • Keep your house warm, even at night and when you’re away.
  • Let a trickle of water run from faucets during extremely cold weather.
  • Open cabinet doors under sinks to let warm air circulate around the pipes.
  • Seal any cracks or holes near pipes to keep cold air out.
  • Schedule annual plumbing inspections before winter.

Local Considerations 

Some of the common factors that cause local Minneapolis winter plumbing issues are:

Freezing winter temperatures: 

Minneapolis winter temperatures regularly fall below 0°F, causing frozen pipes. Frozen pipe calls typically spike in January and February, making the new year a particularly problematic time for pipe bursts.

Insulation issues

Homes built before 1970 often have uninsulated plumbing or less effective insulation in the walls, ceilings, crawlspaces, basements, and other parts of the home, increasing the risk of freezing. When a pipe isn’t insulated, it can’t retain heat, and eventually the water inside will freeze and expand, damaging the plumbing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my pipes are frozen?

If your pipes are frozen, there will be little or no water flow. You may hear gurgling, banging, or whistling sounds. You might see visible frost or ice on the pipes, or the pipes might bulge or crack as ice expands inside. 

Can I thaw frozen pipes myself, or should I call a plumber?

To be safe and avoid further property damage, you should call a plumber. This is especially true if you can’t find the frozen area, if it’s difficult to access, or if you’re not confident in doing it yourself. If you try to thaw your pipes yourself before your plumber arrives, do it safely. Turn off your water, open faucets to relieve pressure, and apply consistent, safe heat like towels soaked in hot water, heating pads, or a hair dryer. Start at the affected faucet and work your way down the pipe. Never use an open flame.

How much does frozen pipe repair cost in Minneapolis?

The price of frozen pipe repair in Minneapolis depends on the extent of the damage caused by the freezing. If multiple pipes have burst in inaccessible areas, it’ll cost more than if you have a single cracked pipe. Call Dean’s Home Services for help, and one of our knowledgeable plumbers will take a look and give an honest price quote before beginning work. 

What should I do if a pipe bursts?

The first thing to do if a pipe bursts in your home is to shut off the water supply to prevent further water damage. If it’s safe to do so, turn the electricity off in that area of your home as well, and then call a licensed Minneapolis plumber for assistance.

Customer Satisfaction is our #1 Priority What Dean’s Customers are saying
I recently bought a new house and quite a few things needed upgrading / replacing. Deans has done fantastic work on all these things. Scheduling is fast and easy. They are able to come out quickly to assess it and give an estimate. And they can quickly schedule the service. All the technicians have been fantastic. Friendly, and quick and efficient. I am so glad I am a member and I will recommend Deans to anyone. Mark B.
Matthew came for a general plumbing inspection. He was friendly and polite and even a little bit early for his appointment. That is a wonderful thing. He checked all the toilets and sinks, the water heater and water softener. All the while explaining what he was doing. He had some ideas on a few repairs but wasn't an alarmist about it. Things that just had to be done, sooner than later, but not immediately. The Dean's club membership is definitely worth it. Susan M.
Eric B was awesome and informative. Today he came and gave us a rundown of our new homes air ventilation and Furnace/AC systems so we are all ready for winter and beyond. We had Dean's install a new furnace, ac and water heater at our previous home and they did such a wonderful job and so easy to work with we will only use them from now on. Thanks again for a wonderful experience. Jayme K.
I had Dean's come out a couple times for different services. Once to install venting for a bath fan and once for service for my furnace. There were no surprises in pricing and service was quick. Sam was the tech both times and he did a great job for both jobs. For the furnace, he diagnosed the issue within minutes of starting the work and got it up and running quickly. They had all the parts in the truck already. As far as the appointment, I requested service online, had a call back within 15 min and the tech was in my driveway an hour later. I would highly recommend Dean's. Dan P.
Of the several electricians I contacted, Dean's offered by far the quickest dispatch time, which is great because my thermostat broke and wouldn't start my A/C at all. Given that temperatures are supposed to reach 98 degrees tomorrow, time was of the essence. Thankfully, Dean's had someone out within an hour. I worked with Seth, who was professional, helpful and knowledgeable. He ran a 'C' wire to our new smart thermostat and got it installed in about an hour at a reasonable price. I will definitely recommend Dean's to anyone who needs an electrician. Michael Y.
