What do you do if your pipes are frozen?
When the temperature drops, frozen pipes can strike without warning. If you turn on a faucet and only get a trickle—or nothing at all—it’s a sign your pipes may be frozen. The longer you wait, the greater the risk of a burst that could cause costly water damage.
Da Vinci’s Best Plumbing is here to help. Our licensed plumbers can safely thaw your pipes and repair any damage before it gets worse.
Step 1 – Call Da Vinci’s Best Plumbing Immediately
Frozen pipes are an emergency. Call our team right away, and we’ll dispatch a plumber to assess the situation. We serve the entire Portland metro area with rapid, reliable service.
Call now or book your emergency visit online.
Step 2 – Turn Off Your Water Supply
Find your home’s main water shut-off valve and close it. This stops pressure from building inside the frozen pipe, reducing the risk of a burst before we arrive.
Step 3 – Gently Warm the Pipe (if it’s Accessible)
If you can see the frozen section and it’s easy to reach, warm it gradually:
- Use a hair dryer or space heater on a low setting.
- Never use an open flame or propane torch.
- Keep the faucet open to relieve pressure as the ice melts.
If you can’t find the frozen area, wait for our plumber—forcing heat in the wrong place can make the situation worse.
Step 4 – Open Cabinets and Warm the Room
Allow warmer air to circulate around plumbing under sinks or near exterior walls. You can also raise your thermostat slightly until help arrives.
Step 5 – Prevent Future Freezing
After we’ve thawed your pipes, we’ll help you:
- Insulate exposed plumbing.
- Seal drafts near water lines.
- Keep a steady indoor temperature during cold snaps.
A few small steps now can save you from major repairs later.
Your Trusted Neighborhood 5-Star Plumber!
DaVinci’s plumbing was great to work with this week. I initially called them about having an outdoor spigot replaced. They were able to schedule the appointment to take place within a week. Aaron, the tech that came to my house, was incredibly thoughtful and deliberate while performing a whole home inspection, taking the time to explain the why of every recommendation and helping me prioritize items that needed immediate attention. The entire interaction was low-pressure and high class. I will be reaching out to them for all future plumbing needs in the future.
It never ceases to amaze me how much they truly care about their community!
Kenney and his team at Da Vinci's are fantastic! My hot water heater is WAY past it's expected service life and needs to be replaced. They were quick to get me scheduled for an evaluation and provided several options for me to choose from that fit my budget. Friendly, polite and professional - I will be recommending them to everyone I know!
Had a plumbing emergency on a Sunday morning and Kenneth came right out. He talked me through all of the pricing before starting and explained each price level thoroughly. He tried everything he could before proceeding to the next step, getting permission from me for everything he was doing. He explained all his work and cleaned up everything before leaving. Kenneth was extremely professional and I really appreciated his 5 star service. This is a family owned and operated business and it shows in their quality service.
Excellent friendly service same day appointment emergency repair!
Davinci’s Best Plumbing was a joy to work with from start to finish. They worked with me to make sure my scheduling needs were met. Aaron came on time and was extremely communicative and thorough—he wasn’t pushy with trying to upsell me on anything but just explained everything and was so kind. I would highly recommend them for any plumbing job you might have. The quote for the leak coming from our bathroom into the basement seemed to be super fair price. The first place I called had like a 2 week long wait but at Davinci’s, they offered to see me that same day (I had them come the next day because I had work). It was a top tier experience and we’ll be using them again!
Erin was great! Explained the problem and solved it! I would definitely want him to deal with any future plumbing issues I might have!!!
Great experience clearing a clogged pipe. Their tech, Aaron, did a great job and solved our problem as cheaply and effectively as possible. I would recommend this company to anyone who needs plumbing work done.
Aaron was great to work with. Professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help. Would happily work this agency again.
We are definitely impressed with this company. The quality of service was only beat by the speed of service. Aaron came by to fix a leaky bathtub and not only explained everything but had a range of knowledge information I needed to list to remember. Very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. We felt very confident moving forward, and the work looks great! Will be calling for all our future plumbing needs.
