Frozen Pipe Thawing During Cranston Cold Snaps
The pipes that freeze in Cranston homes are predictable — exterior-wall kitchen plumbing, crawlspace runs in 1950s ranches, and unheated garage walls in newer tract construction. We thaw with electric thawing equipment, not torch flame, because half the Cranston homes we work in have framing that won't tolerate open flame anywhere near it. Once thawed, we pressure-test the run before we leave to make sure it didn't already burst.
