Pipe Repair in Little RockPipe repair in Little Rock peaks after ice storms and hard freezes. Many homes sit over vented crawl spaces, so supply lines underneath are exposed to freezing air, and power outages during ice storms leave homes without heat. Older homes may also still have galvanized supply lines that corrode, lose pressure and leak at threaded joints. Because crawl space leaks can run unnoticed, it’s worth checking under the house after any hard freeze.

Pipe Repair in Little Rock: questions

Should I drain my pipes if an ice storm knocks out power?

If heat will be off for a long time in freezing weather, shutting off the main and draining the lines prevents bursts.

Should I repipe an older Little Rock home?

If galvanized pipe is causing low pressure, rusty water or repeated leaks, repiping is usually worth it, and crawl spaces make the job easier.

How do I thaw a frozen crawl space pipe?

Open the faucet and warm the pipe gently with a hair dryer or space heater at a safe distance. Never use an open flame.
