Frozen Pipe Repair in Poughkeepsie
Pipe Thawing & Leak Detection for Dutchess County Homeowners
A frozen pipe doesn’t stay frozen forever. When it thaws, the pressure that built up inside can split the line and send water through your walls, floors, and ceilings in minutes. We’re Lambert Plumbing & Heating, a family-owned plumbing company serving Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County, and Ulster County since 1953. When temperatures drop, our team responds fast with the right tools to thaw frozen pipes, detect hidden damage, and repair what’s broken before it gets worse.
Don’t wait to find out if a frozen pipe has already cracked. Call Lambert Plumbing & Heating at (845) 506-8245 and we can dispatch a licensed plumber to your Poughkeepsie-area home right away.
What to Do When You Suspect a Frozen Pipe
Acting in the first few minutes matters. Here’s what to watch for and what to do before a technician arrives.
Warning signs include:
- No water or only a trickle from a faucet when the tap is fully open
- Visible frost or condensation on an exposed pipe
- Unusual odors coming from a drain
Safe first steps:
- Locate your main water shut-off valve and close it if you see any sign of leaking. Shutting it off immediately limits how much water can escape if the pipe has already cracked.
- Open the affected faucet slightly to relieve pressure as the pipe begins to thaw.
- Never apply an open flame to a frozen pipe. Torches and heat guns can damage the pipe or ignite nearby framing. Leave the thawing to a professional.
Our Frozen Pipe Repair Service in Poughkeepsie
We don’t guess where the problem is or how bad it’s gotten. Our approach combines dedicated pipe thawing techniques with diagnostic tools that find the full picture before we start any repair.
Pipe Thawing
We use professional freezing and thawing methods to safely clear an ice blockage without damaging the surrounding pipe material.
Electronic Leak Detection
If water has already escaped into a wall cavity or under a slab, our electronic leak detection equipment locates the source without tearing out drywall to find it.
Video Camera Inspection
For drain and sewer lines, a camera inspection pinpoints blockages or damage inside the pipe without invasive digging.
Flat-Rate Pricing
Before we do any work, we give you the total cost in writing. No surprises on the invoice once the job is done.

"Great Company"
This company is great and does amazing work! We needed a new way to vent our older boiler and water heater before the freeze. We had no hot water or heat! Steve and Alex came out, talked through our needs, and set us up nicely.
