Signs You Have Frozen Pipes in Your Minneapolis Home
There are a number of symptoms that can point to the fact that your Minneapolis home’s pipes are frozen. Watch out for the following signs to know when your home is combatting a frozen pipe crisis:
- Strange odors from your faucet or drain
- Little to no water coming out of pipes
- Frost present on pipe surfaces
- Temperature is below freezing
One of the biggest indications of a frozen pipe issue is if your faucets yield little to no water and there is no sign of leakage around your pipes. In this case, the water is likely frozen inside the pipe, which can lead to a burst pipe if not properly addressed.

Frozen Pipe Repair Service
Think your pipes may be frozen? Even if your pipes haven’t burst, frozen pipes are an urgent situation that a professional should handle quickly.
Over time, freezing will compromise the integrity of your pipes — and you may not be aware of the damage until it’s too late and thawing reveals a massive leak that causes water damage.
In many cases, rupture doesn’t occur until thawing begins and the pressure of moving water and unyielding ice causes is combined.
The team at Genz-Ryan can help repair frozen pipes and offer long-term solutions to prevent freezing in the future. We’re available 24/7 to help with frozen pipes and other plumbing emergencies.
Remember, the longer you wait, the more likely you will experience significant damages from frozen pipes.

Prevention Tips for Frozen Pipes
Just because the cold weather is coming doesn’t mean you’re defenseless against the effects wintry weather can have on your plumbing system. The following prevention tips can help you keep frozen pipe issues at bay so you can enjoy a cozy, comfortable season ahead:
- Drain water from pipes that are more prone to freezing, including swimming pools and sprinkler supply lines.
- Disconnect hoses from your home’s exterior, drain them, and store them somewhere safe for the spring season. Be sure to close the indoor valves as well.
- Insulate your vents and light fixtures to prevent heat from escaping into the attic.
- Seal wall cracks and ensure your utility service lines are well-protected.
- Open bathroom and kitchen cabinets that house your sinks’ pipes to allow warm air to circulate around them.
- Keep garage doors closed to protect your water lines.
- Leave faucets on a slow drip to prevent pressure buildup and freezing.
- Keep your thermostat at an even temperature, and never let it fall below 55 degrees Fahrenheit when you aren’t at home.
- Seal all windows and doors properly.
- Place a lightbulb in areas that are more prone to freezing, ensuring no combustible materials are present around the bulb.
By following these prevention tips, you’ll be able to protect against a frozen pipe issue from bringing catastrophic damage to your home.
