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

Spanaway is an unincorporated community in Pierce County with a mix of mid-century homes and many newer subdivisions. Spanaway homes vary widely in age, so we check what is in the house before we guess at the cause.
