Pipe Freezing

Need to make a repair but can't shut down the water supply? Pipe freezing creates a temporary ice plug in the line — allowing us to work on the system without draining the building.

Ideal for:

  • High-rise buildings where shutdowns affect multiple units
  • Commercial properties that can't interrupt operations
  • Emergency repairs when main shut-offs are inaccessible
  • Situations where draining the system isn't practical

How it works:

  1. We apply controlled freezing to create an ice plug upstream of the repair area
  2. The repair is completed while the plug holds back water flow
  3. Once complete, the plug thaws naturally and flow resumes

FAQs

What is pipe freezing?

Pipe freezing uses controlled refrigeration to create a temporary ice plug inside a pipe, allowing repairs without shutting off water to the entire building.

Is pipe freezing safe for my pipes?

Yes, when performed by trained technicians using proper equipment. We monitor the process carefully to prevent pipe damage.

When is pipe freezing the right choice?

When shutting off the water supply would cause significant disruption — such as in occupied multi-unit buildings, locations without a functioning main disconnect, or commercial facilities.
