We can help protect your pipes from freezing.
Schedule your furnace tune-up.
Most frozen pipes start with a furnace breakdown. Once the home loses heat, your pipes are at risk. It’s why preventative maintenance is so important. Have us get your furnace ready for winter.
We install protective sheathing.
If your home is no longer heated, the temperature in your exterior walls will start to drop dramatically. Insulated pipe sheathing slows down the heat loss from pipes, slowing the freezing process.
Have us inspect your water heater.
A functioning water heater can protect the hot water lines in your home. Schedule an annual inspection for your home’s water heater ahead of winter so that we can ensure it’s working right.

We’ll always stand by the work we do. That’s why all of our work comes backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not completely satisfied with our plumbing services, please let us know. We’ll talk it through with you and figure out how to make it right.

Can’t I thaw out my pipes myself?
You’ve probably seen online guides or videos showing you how to do thaw out your home’s frozen pipes. It might look straightforward enough, but it can actually be incredibly dangerous. Applying the sudden heat of a hairdryer or boiling water to a frozen pipe could cause it to burst. Never use an open flame source, such as a propane torch. This can damage the pipe material and lead to significant plumbing issues down the road.
What if I live in an apartment or condo?
First, call your landlord or property manager and tell them about the problem. Chances are, if your pipes have frozen, those in surrounding units have, as well. They’ll need to turn water off to the building so that our plumbers can start the process of thawing out the frozen pipes or making repairs to the pipes themselves.
Does leaving faucets dripping help?
Yes. On the coldest nights of the year, keeping the water in your pipes moving can be beneficial and help prevent your pipes from freezing. To do this, leave your kitchen or bathroom sink faucet at an ever-so-slight drip. There are other, highly effective ways to prevent frozen pipes. One is having our plumbers install insulating sheathing around your pipes in exterior walls. This slows down the loss of heat in the event your furnace stops working, buying your home several hours.
How quickly can Reimer provide pipe thawing?
We offer fast response times, especially during winter emergencies, to restore your plumbing quickly.
How much does frozen pipe repair cost in Western New York?
Costs vary depending on the extent of the damage. Reimer Heating, Cooling & Plumbing provides upfront pricing and clear estimates.
