What to Do When a Pipe Freezes
Frozen pipe repair in Chicago and DuPage County is a race against time. When temperatures drop below 20°F, the water inside uninsulated or exterior-facing pipes freezes and expands — cracking copper, bursting PVC, and splitting PEX lines. If you notice reduced water flow, frost on exposed pipes, or bulging along supply lines, shut off your main water valve immediately and call our emergency line.
Alta Property Services has served homeowners and property managers across DuPage, Cook, Lake, and Will counties for years. Our certified plumbers arrive with thawing equipment and full repair supplies, assess the extent of freeze damage, and restore your plumbing — including any water damage cleanup — in a single visit wherever possible. We work directly with your insurance company, bill Xactimate-ready, and offer free estimates on every job.
Whether it's a burst pipe, a hidden leak, or a full line freeze, we handle it end-to-end.
What We Fix
Comprehensive Frozen & Burst Pipe Services
From thawing a single supply line to rebuilding damaged wall cavities, our plumbers and contractors handle the full scope of winter pipe emergencies — so you only make one call.
Emergency Pipe Thawing
We use professional electric heat tape, hot-water flushing, and infrared heat equipment to safely thaw frozen lines — including in walls, crawl spaces, and under slabs — without cracking surrounding materials.
Frozen Pipe Repair & Replacement
Cracked or fully burst pipes are cut out, and new copper or PEX sections are soldered or crimped in. We match existing pipe materials, restore insulation, and patch drywall as part of the same job.
Water Damage Assessment
After a freeze-burst event, we inspect ceilings, walls, subflooring, and insulation for moisture intrusion and secondary damage. Full Xactimate documentation is provided for insurance claims.
Pipe Insulation & Winterization
We wrap at-risk supply lines with foam lagging, self-regulating heat tape, and vapor barrier to prevent future freeze events — ideal for garage walls, rim joists, and unheated crawl spaces.
Water Damage Restoration
Burst pipe damage extends beyond the pipe itself. Our crews handle drywall repair, framing, flooring, and finish work so your home looks exactly as it did — not patched. See our water damage reconstruction service for full scope.
Insurance Claim Coordination
We bill insurers directly using Xactimate and assist with adjuster walkthroughs and documentation. Learn more about our insurance claim support process — no out-of-pocket surprises.
Our Process
How Alta Handles a Frozen Pipe Emergency
From your first call to the last coat of paint, every step is handled by our team — no sub-contracting, no coordination headaches.
Emergency Dispatch
Call (630) 461-9229 any hour. A live team member picks up, collects details, and dispatches the nearest certified plumber to your address — typically within 60–90 minutes in DuPage and Cook counties.
On-Site Assessment
Our plumber locates the freeze point using thermal imaging and pressure testing. We identify affected pipe runs, inspect adjacent materials for moisture, and document everything for your insurance carrier.
Safe Thawing & Repair
We thaw the line using the safest method for your pipe material, then repair or replace cracked sections. Where a pipe has burst, we cut out the compromised section and splice in new material with proper fittings and pressure-tested joints.
Water Damage Mitigation
Any water that escaped is extracted, affected cavities are dried with commercial air movers and dehumidifiers, and structural materials are assessed. We coordinate directly with your insurer for full restoration if needed.
Prevention & Sign-Off
We insulate at-risk lines, provide a written summary of all work performed, and walk you through simple prevention steps. Final sign-off includes a pressure test to confirm there are no remaining leaks.
