How do I thaw frozen water pipes?
Locate the frozen area of pipe by turning on faucets and appliances. If water doesn’t come out of the faucet, the supply pipes are frozen at some point. Leave the faucet open as you thaw the pipes.Inspect the pipes supplying the affected faucets and appliances, looking for supply pipes that are near the house exterior or are in unheated areas. Those are the areas most likely to be frozen.Warm the frozen sections of pipe with a heat gun or hair dryer. Use the lowest setting and keep moving the heat gun or hair dryer so that you don’t overheat the pipes.
