A frozen pipe can turn into a burst pipe quickly—and once a pipe bursts, water damage can spread fast.
Plumbera provides professional frozen pipe repair and burst pipe repair in Toronto and across the GTA, helping homeowners respond quickly, stop water loss, and restore safe plumbing.
If you suspect a frozen line or you’ve discovered water damage from a burst pipe, call 866-506-8285 immediately.
Frozen and burst pipe events often happen during cold snaps, overnight temperature drops, or when vulnerable plumbing is exposed to drafts.
Our licensed plumbers diagnose the situation, isolate the water supply safely, repair the damaged section, and recommend measures to prevent it from happening again.
Pipes freeze when water inside the line drops below freezing and expands.
That expansion increases pressure inside the pipe and can cause splits or full ruptures—especially at weak joints or older sections.
Toronto homes can be vulnerable due to:
The earlier you act, the better. If a pipe is frozen but not yet burst, professional thawing and inspection may prevent major damage.
If you suspect a frozen pipe, avoid applying open flames or unsafe heaters.
Call Plumbera at 866-506-8285 for safe frozen pipe repair Toronto support.
A burst pipe is often obvious, but not always.
Some bursts occur behind walls, under floors, or above ceilings—causing hidden damage before you notice.
Warning signs include:
If you believe a pipe has burst, shut off the main water supply if possible and call Plumbera immediately at 866-506-8285.
If water is actively leaking, shut off the main water valve right away.
If you can safely do so, turn off the water heater or boiler if there’s risk of running dry.
Move valuables away from wet areas and place towels or containers to limit spread.
Avoid open flames and high-heat sources that can damage pipes or create fire hazards.
Improper thawing can cause weak spots that fail later.
Professional thawing and repair is safer and helps prevent repeat failures.
Frozen lines and burst pipes require accurate diagnosis and proper repair.
Plumbera provides targeted burst pipe repair and frozen pipe repair with a focus on reliability and prevention.
Call 866-506-8285.
We determine which line is affected, identify the most likely freeze location, and isolate water safely.
For burst pipes, we locate the leak source—visible or hidden—and confirm the extent of damage.
If the pipe is frozen but intact, we thaw it safely and check for weakness, cracks, or joint stress.
We also look for the underlying cause—drafting, missing insulation, or exposure points—so we can recommend prevention steps.
For burst lines, we repair or replace the damaged section using appropriate materials and professional fittings.
We focus on repairs that restore full pressure and reduce future failure risk.
Where needed, we may recommend upgrading vulnerable sections to improve durability.
After repairs, we restore water carefully, verify stable pressure, and check for leaks.
We test relevant fixtures to ensure the system is operating correctly and safely.
The best repair is the one that doesn’t happen again.
We identify drafts, insulation gaps, and plumbing vulnerabilities and recommend practical steps such as improved pipe insulation, sealing penetrations, maintaining minimum heat settings, and winterization strategies.
If you’ve had a frozen pipe once, there’s often a vulnerability that should be addressed to prevent repeat events.
When you’re dealing with water loss or freeze risk, speed and accuracy matter.
Plumbera delivers professional diagnosis, safe repairs, and preventative guidance to protect your home long-term.
Don’t let a frozen pipe turn into a flood.

Common signs of a frozen pipe behind a wall include little or no water flow from a faucet, water that suddenly stops while other fixtures still work, frost on exposed pipe sections nearby, unusual smells from drains, or bulging drywall or baseboards. You may also hear unusual sounds when turning on a tap. If only one fixture or area of the home is affected during very cold weather, a frozen pipe is likely.
Immediately shut off the main water supply to stop further water damage. If it’s safe to do so, turn off your water heater to prevent it from running dry. Move valuables away from the affected area and use towels or containers to control spreading water. Once the water is shut off, call a licensed plumber right away for emergency burst pipe repair.
Using a hair dryer can be safe only for exposed pipes and when done carefully with low, indirect heat. It should never be used on hidden pipes behind walls or with open flames. Improper thawing can weaken the pipe or cause sudden bursting. For frozen pipes you can’t see or safely access, professional thawing is the safest option.
Pipes usually burst because water expands as it freezes, creating intense pressure inside the pipe. The actual rupture often becomes visible after thawing, when water flow resumes and escapes through a crack that formed during freezing. This is why leaks may appear suddenly, even after temperatures rise.
No, not all frozen pipes burst—but the risk is high. Pipes are more likely to survive freezing if they have room to expand, are made of a more flexible material, or freeze slowly. However, even if a pipe doesn’t burst immediately, freezing can weaken it and increase the chance of failure later.
In Toronto homes, pipes commonly freeze in exterior walls, basements near foundation walls, crawlspaces, garages, kitchens and bathrooms on outside walls, near rim joists, around poorly sealed windows or vents, and at hose bibs or exterior shutoffs. Any area with poor insulation or exposure to cold drafts is at higher risk.
To prevent frozen pipes, keep indoor temperatures consistent (even overnight), insulate exposed pipes, seal drafts near plumbing, open cabinet doors under sinks to allow warm air circulation, let faucets drip slightly during extreme cold, disconnect outdoor hoses, and ensure vulnerable areas like basements and garages stay heated. If you’ve had frozen pipes before, a plumber can help identify and correct underlying vulnerabilities.
