Don't let a frozen or burst pipe turn into thousands in water damage. Our licensed plumbers respond fast across the Twin Ports — day or night, weekends and holidays included.
Catching a frozen pipe early can save you from a burst and thousands in water damage. Look for these signs.
Turn on a faucet and get a trickle or nothing at all? That's the #1 sign. If only one faucet is affected, the freeze is likely isolated to a specific pipe run.
Visible frost or ice on pipes in your basement, crawl space, or under sinks. If you can see frost, the pipe is already at risk of cracking.
A frozen pipe can block the only way odors escape. If your drains suddenly smell, the pipe backing up may be frozen farther down the line.
Unusual noises when you turn on the water can indicate ice expanding inside the pipe. Call a plumber before it escalates to a burst.
A frozen pipe can burst in as little as 4 hours at extreme temperatures. The sooner you call, the less damage you'll face. Our licensed plumbers respond fast across the Twin Ports — around the clock, every day of the year.

Professional thawing that safely restores water flow without cracking or damaging your pipes. We use controlled heat application — never open flame or blowtorches.
When a frozen pipe bursts, we respond immediately to stop the flooding, repair the damage, and get your water back on. Every hour counts to limit water damage.
Stop frozen pipes before they start. We insulate vulnerable pipes in crawl spaces, exterior walls, garages, and unheated areas to winterize your home for years to come.
A frozen pipe isn't just an inconvenience. It's a ticking clock. Here's what's at stake.
Water expands 9% when it freezes. At −20°F — common in the Twin Ports — a frozen pipe can crack or burst within hours. Once it bursts, every minute adds to the damage.
A burst pipe can release 4-8 gallons per minute. That's up to 480 gallons per hour soaking your floors, walls, and possessions. Average water damage claims in the upper Midwest exceed $10,000.
Standing water from a burst pipe creates the perfect breeding ground for mold. Once mold takes hold, remediation costs can double or triple the initial water damage bill.
Don't take our word for it. Here's what people who've been in your shoes have to say.
Our pipes froze during that brutal cold snap in January. Called Advantage Air at 6 AM and they had someone at our house within the hour. Saved us from what could have been a major disaster. These guys are the real deal.
They literally saved our pipes from freezing. Tech arrived fast, diagnosed a failed gas valve on our furnace that was causing the house to lose heat, and had the part on the truck. Can't thank them enough.
Called three companies on a Saturday night when our pipes were frozen solid. Two went to voicemail. Advantage Air answered on the second ring and had a plumber at our door within the hour. Heat was back on within two hours.
