What to do right now
A few safe steps protect your home while we are on the way. If a pipe has already burst, shutting off the main water is the most important thing you can do.
Shut off the main
If a pipe has burst or you suspect one has, find your main water shut-off and turn it clockwise to stop the flow. This protects your home while we head your way.
Open a faucet
Open the faucet served by the frozen line. As the pipe thaws, running water helps melt the ice and tells you when flow returns.
Add gentle heat
Warm the frozen section with a hair dryer, a space heater at a safe distance, or warm towels. Never use an open flame or a torch on a pipe.
Call us
If you cannot reach the pipe, the line will not thaw, or a pipe has already burst, call right away. We answer 24/7 and get a real local pro on the way.

What Roto-Rooter customers say
Roto-Rooter was professional and thorough, tackling a 15-year buildup in our drains. Despite the challenge, the plumber worked diligently for four hours and resolved our drainage issues. We're very happy with the service and would call them again without hesitation.
Hasan from Roto-Rooter did an excellent job on our drain cleaning. Our garage floor was full of water, and he fixed it. We would not hesitate to call Roto-Rooter again to solve out water problems.
My Roto-Rooter technician kept me up dated periodically during the time he was performing the drain cleaning. He was very polite and respectful!
Common questions
How much does it cost to fix a frozen or burst pipe?
$150 to $500 for a simple thaw, up to several thousand if a burst pipe caused damage. We give you a free, upfront price first.
How do I thaw a frozen pipe?
Open the faucet that the frozen pipe feeds, then warm the frozen section with a hair dryer, a space heater kept at a safe distance, or warm towels, working from the faucet end toward the cold spot. Never use an open flame or a torch. If you cannot reach the pipe or it will not thaw, call us and we will handle it safely.
How do I keep pipes from freezing in Idaho winters?
On the coldest nights let a faucet trickle, since moving water is much harder to freeze. Keep cabinet doors open so warm air reaches pipes under sinks, insulate lines in the garage, crawl space, and exterior walls, and disconnect garden hoses in the fall. Know where your main shut-off is before you ever need it.
What do I do if a pipe bursts?
Shut off the main water valve right away by turning it clockwise, then open a faucet to relieve pressure and move valuables off the wet floor. Call us immediately. We answer 24/7, stop the water, and repair the line fast before it damages more of your home.
