Frozen water or heating pipes — safe professional thawing 24/7, arriving within 30 minutes across Riga and surroundings
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.
The most common sign — you turn on the tap but nothing comes out, or only a very weak flow
Visible frost on the pipe surface, or it feels significantly colder than the surroundings
The pipe is completely frozen — water cannot flow at all
Uninsulated pipes in exterior walls, basements or unheated verandas are most at risk
Risk increases significantly during severe cold, especially if heating has been interrupted
Audible clicking or crackling in the pipes may indicate the early stages of freezing
Taking the right steps can prevent a much more serious problem — a burst pipe that causes flooding.
This reduces pressure on the frozen pipe and prevents burst risk when the pipe starts to thaw.
Do not use gas torches, candles or any open flame. This can cause the pipe to burst and start a fire.
Our plumber arrives in 30 min, uses safe thawing methods and checks whether the pipe has sustained any damage.
If the frozen pipe is in a heated space, raise the temperature. For pipes in basements or verandas — wait for the plumber.
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.
