Why St. Paul homeowners call for frozen pipe repair
Do not torch a frozen pipe. Open the faucet, keep the area safe, and call. Split copper shows up as the ice melts.
Which lines freeze depends on where they run and how well they are insulated. Pre-war brick and stucco bungalows with cast-iron stacks and galvanized. Nearby towns: Maplewood, Roseville, West St. Paul, South St. Paul.
Freeze depth and duration do the rest. Deep frost and polar snaps freeze hose bibs, attics, and poorly insulated crawl lines. Common dispatch ZIPs in St. Paul include 55101, 55102, 55104, 55105. Nearby codes are covered — call with yours.
