Serving Kentwood homes and businesses
One cold night, one split pipe
The pipe freezes
A sub-zero night turns the line inside an outside wall or garage ceiling to ice, and the faucet goes dry.
The thaw floods
Ice splits the pipe, and when it melts, water pours into drywall, insulation and the basement below.
Winter is not a choice
No family or business owner deserves a ruined basement because the weather dropped below zero.

What Does Burst and Frozen Pipe Repair Involve?
The repair starts with a call or form request to the 24/7 line. When water is spraying, the plumber walks the caller through closing the main valve next to the water meter; Grand Rapids requires a valve on each side of the meter. On site, the plumber locates the ice, thaws the line with controlled heat, never an open flame, and finds every split. The damaged section gets replaced, pressure-tested and, where the line froze in an outside wall or garage ceiling, insulated or rerouted. Grand Rapids Michigan Plumber pulls permits where the city requires them, and the Water System inspects any repaired service line before backfill.
