Frozen Pipe Repair & Prevention in Portland, ME
Don't Wait for a Frozen Pipe to Burst
Maine winters are tough on plumbing. When pipes freeze, water flow can stop without warning—and if a frozen pipe bursts, it can release hundreds of gallons into your home. Fontus provides professional frozen pipe repair and prevention across Portland and southern Maine to help protect your plumbing through the coldest months.
As water freezes it expands, creating pressure that can crack or burst a pipe. Even a small break can flood your home once temperatures rise. If you suspect a frozen pipe, prompt action helps minimize damage and reduce the risk of costly repairs.

Frozen Pipe FAQs
A faucet won't run in the cold—is it frozen?
Little or no flow during a cold snap is a classic frozen-pipe sign. Keep the faucet open and call for service; don't apply an open flame.
How can I prevent frozen pipes?
Insulate exposed pipes, keep the home adequately heated, let vulnerable faucets drip in extreme cold, and address unheated areas. We can identify your home's weak spots.
My seasonal home sits empty in winter—what should I do?
Vacant homes are especially vulnerable. We can recommend prevention measures suited to seasonal properties.
