Vulnerable pipes in crawlspaces, exterior walls, and unheated areas are common culprits here. David Bowen's team has helped Hot Springs families through cold snaps since 1985.

Frequently asked questions
What should I do if a pipe freezes?
Shut off your main water supply first so a hidden crack does not flood the house when it thaws. Open the affected faucet to relieve pressure, and do not use an open flame to thaw the pipe. Then call us. Catching a frozen pipe before it bursts, or right after, limits the damage significantly.
How can I keep my pipes from freezing?
Insulate pipes in crawlspaces, garages, and exterior walls, disconnect garden hoses before winter, and let a faucet drip on the coldest nights to keep water moving. Opening cabinet doors lets warm air reach pipes under sinks. We can insulate vulnerable lines around your Hot Springs home so a cold snap does not catch you off guard.
How do I know if a frozen pipe has already burst?
Signs include no water from a faucet in freezing weather, a bulging or frost-covered pipe, or water stains and dripping once things warm up. If pressure drops or you see water where it should not be, shut off the main and call us. Fast repair keeps a burst pipe from causing far worse damage.
