NSP Plumbing is equipped to safely thaw every major type of residential plumbing pipe found in West Michigan homes. Our licensed technicians use controlled, professional-grade thawing equipment that protects your plumbing system and prevents burst lines.
We can thaw:
• Copper pipes
The most common supply line material in older Grand Rapids homes. Copper can split easily when ice expands, so we use gentle, precise thawing methods to prevent damage.
• PEX pipes
Flexible and common in newer homes. PEX tolerates freezing better than metal lines, but it can still block completely. Our team can thaw PEX without overheating fittings or connections.
• Galvanized steel pipes
Often found in pre-1990 homes. These are more prone to corrosion and bursting when frozen. We use controlled heat sources to minimize stress on aging steel plumbing.
• PVC and CPVC pipes
Typically used for drains and sometimes hot or cold supply lines. These plastics can crack under rapid temperature changes, so we thaw them slowly and safely.
• Main water service lines
We can thaw frozen service lines running from the street to your home, including copper, PEX, or HDPE materials.
If your water stops flowing or you suspect a frozen pipe, call NSP Plumbing. We are available 24 hours a day with fast response times and the equipment needed to thaw pipes safely and prevent costly damage.
