No water coming from a faucet on a cold morning, frost visible on an exposed pipe, or a pipe that feels ice-cold to the touch. These are signs of a frozen pipe that needs to be thawed carefully before it cracks or bursts.
Stars and Pipes Plumbing Atlanta handles frozen pipe thawing and repair for homeowners in Gwinnett County and across the Atlanta metro area to restore water flow and prevent further damage.

How to Tell If You Have a Frozen Pipe
The most obvious sign is a faucet that produces little or no water when you turn it on during freezing temperatures. Pipes in crawl spaces, attics, garages, and exterior walls are the most susceptible.
You may also notice bulging in a visible pipe, frost forming on the outside of the pipe, or a faint hissing sound as ice shifts inside.
Do not attempt to thaw a frozen pipe with a torch or open flame. Rapid, uneven heating can cause the pipe to crack or burst.
What We Do
We locate the frozen section using thermal detection and thaw the pipe safely using controlled heat application. Once the pipe is thawed, we inspect it for cracks, splits, or weakened joints. If the pipe has already burst, we make the repair immediately.
We also check other vulnerable pipes in your home to make sure the freeze damage is limited to one area. If your home has pipes in high-risk locations, we can recommend insulation solutions to prevent future freezes.
Serving Gwinnett County and Metro Atlanta
Stars and Pipes Plumbing Atlanta handles frozen pipe repairs across Gwinnett County, including Lilburn, Lawrenceville, Loganville, and Snellville.
We also serve DeKalb County areas like Stone Mountain and Lithonia, and Fulton County communities including Roswell and Alpharetta.
Metro Atlanta typically sees several nights below freezing each winter, and homes with plumbing in uninsulated crawl spaces or exterior walls are at the highest risk.
