How Do You Thaw A Frozen Pipe?
Frozen pipes can be a huge inconvenience and can cause water damage if they burst. Here are a few quick cures. Step 1 Open the faucet nearest the pipe, if possible. Do not force it. Step 2 Wrap the pipe in a towel and secure it with duct tape. Step 3 Pour boiling water over the towel. Repeat until the water has thawed and runs through the faucet. Step 4 Alternatively, wrap the pipe in a heating pad or place a heat lamp next to it. If you lack one of these, try a handheld hair dryer or a small electric heater.
