How to recognise frozen pipes

During Latvia's cold winters, frozen pipes are a common problem — especially in older buildings, houses with exterior wall pipes and unheated spaces. Here's what to look for.

🚰

No water or just a trickle

The most common sign — you turn on the tap but nothing comes out, or only a very weak flow

❄️

Pipe is cold or frosted

Visible frost on the pipe surface, or it feels significantly colder than the surroundings

💨

Only air from the tap

The pipe is completely frozen — water cannot flow at all

🏠

Pipes in exterior walls or basement

Uninsulated pipes in exterior walls, basements or unheated verandas are most at risk

🌡️

Temperature drops below -10°C

Risk increases significantly during severe cold, especially if heating has been interrupted

🔊

Clicking sounds in pipes

Audible clicking or crackling in the pipes may indicate the early stages of freezing

What to do if your pipes are frozen

Taking the right steps can prevent a much more serious problem — a burst pipe that causes flooding.

1

Shut off the main water valve

This reduces pressure on the frozen pipe and prevents burst risk when the pipe starts to thaw.

!

Never use an open flame

Do not use gas torches, candles or any open flame. This can cause the pipe to burst and start a fire.

2

Book us immediately

Our plumber arrives in 30 min, uses safe thawing methods and checks whether the pipe has sustained any damage.

3

Warm the room if possible

If the frozen pipe is in a heated space, raise the temperature. For pipes in basements or verandas — wait for the plumber.

How we help

Our plumbers specialise in frozen pipe thawing and are equipped with professional tools that safely and effectively resolve the problem. Thawing — we use industrial heaters and hot water methods that ensure even, gradual thawing without thermal shock to the pipes. Damage assessment — after thawing we inspect for any cracks or micro-fractures that may have developed. Prevention — we recommend and install insulation to prevent re-freezing in future seasons. We work 24/7, including weekends and public holidays. 12-month warranty on all work performed.
