# What to Do About a Frozen Pipe in Charlotte, SC

Hard freezes are not common in the Charlotte area, but when one hits, pipes in crawl spaces and outside walls can freeze. Acting quickly can keep a frozen pipe from bursting.

- Open the faucet the pipe feeds so melting water has somewhere to go.
- Warm the pipe gently with a hair dryer or warm towels, never an open flame.
- Know where the main water shutoff is in case a pipe splits as it thaws.
- Call a local plumber if you cannot reach the frozen spot or you see water leaking.
