What it usually is
Frozen pipes are usually on outside walls, in crawl spaces or in unheated garages. A split pipe leaks as soon as the ice melts.
What to do first
Open the faucet slightly, warm the area slowly with room-temperature or warm air, and never use an open flame. If you see a split or a leak, shut off the main water.
The flat rate that covers it
- Accessible pipe leak repair: from $225
- Diagnosis / service call (plumbing or electrical): $79
South Tacoma has mid-century single-family homes, small businesses along its main avenues and some light industrial areas. Mid-century South Tacoma homes commonly have original drain and supply lines still in service, and updates tend to happen one room at a time.
