Why Choose Hyde Park Plumbing for Burst & Frozen Pipe Repair?
Boise winters regularly bring nighttime temperatures below 0°F, and frozen pipes are one of the most common — and most damaging — plumbing emergencies we respond to. When water freezes inside a pipe, it expands with up to 2,000 PSI of pressure, enough to split copper, burst PEX, and shatter galvanized pipe joints. Hyde Park Plumbing provides emergency frozen pipe thawing and burst pipe repair throughout Boise. Homes with exposed pipes in crawlspaces, uninsulated garages, and along exterior walls are most at risk. We use controlled thawing methods (heat guns, pipe heating cables, warm water circulation) that safely restore flow without causing additional cracks. After thawing, we inspect for damage and repair any pipe that has split, bulged, or developed pinhole leaks from the freeze.

Call (208) 871-911324/7 Winter Emergency
Frozen pipes wait for the coldest nights. We respond 24/7 throughout Boise's winter season — November through March — with heated trucks and thawing equipment ready to go.
Controlled Thawing
We use professional heat guns, pipe heating cables, and warm water circulation — never open flame torches that can damage pipes or start fires in wall cavities.
Thermal Imaging
Infrared cameras locate exactly where the ice blockage is inside walls, under floors, or in crawlspaces — even when the pipe is not visible.
Freeze Prevention
After repair, we identify why the pipe froze and recommend insulation, heat trace cable, or plumbing modifications to prevent it from happening again next winter.

Common Questions About Burst & Frozen Pipe Repair in Boise
How much does whole-house repiping cost in Boise?
Whole-house repiping in Boise typically costs $4,000 to $12,000, depending on home size, number of fixtures, and pipe material chosen. PEX repiping is the most cost-effective option, while copper costs more but offers maximum longevity. Hyde Park Plumbing (License #PLB-J-4285) provides free repiping estimates.
What pipe materials are best for Boise homes?
PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) is the most popular choice for Boise repiping due to its flexibility, freeze resistance, and resistance to mineral buildup from hard water. Copper remains an excellent option for durability. We no longer recommend galvanized steel or polybutylene, which are common in older Boise homes.
What are the signs my home needs repiping?
Warning signs include rusty or discolored water, frequent leaks in different locations, low water pressure throughout the house, visible pipe corrosion, and pinhole leaks. Homes in Boise built before 1985 with galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes are strong candidates for repiping.
How do I prevent frozen pipes in Boise?
Insulate exposed pipes in crawlspaces, attics, and exterior walls. Keep cabinet doors open during cold snaps to allow warm air to reach pipes. Maintain thermostat at 55 degrees or higher when away. Boise temperatures can drop below zero in January and February, making freeze prevention essential for Idaho homeowners.
What is trenchless pipe repair and is it available in Boise?
Trenchless pipe repair replaces damaged underground water or sewer lines without excavating your yard. Methods include pipe bursting and cured-in-place lining. Hyde Park Plumbing offers trenchless solutions throughout the Boise area, saving your landscaping and reducing repair time from days to hours.
