What Exactly Pipe Freezing is? 

Pipe freezing is a sophisticated technique used in the plumbing industry to isolate a section of the plumbing system for repairs or modifications. This method involves the application of extreme cold to the water inside the pipe, creating a solid ice plug that effectively blocks the flow of water. This allows our team to carry out necessary repairs or modifications without the need for system-wide shutdowns or drain-downs, ensuring your business operations continue unhindered.

The Science Behind Pipe Freezing

The principle behind pipe freezing is simple yet effective. When the temperature of the water in a pipe is lowered to the freezing point using specialized equipment, it turns into ice, forming a secure and solid plug. This ice plug acts as a temporary barrier, stopping the flow of water and allowing the necessary work to be carried out on the isolated section of the pipe. Once the repairs or modifications are completed, the ice plug is safely thawed, restoring normal water flow in the pipe.

Why Pipe Freezing?

Choosing pipe-freezing as a method for carrying out plumbing repairs or modifications offers several advantages:

• Minimal Disruption: Pipe freezing allows necessary work to be carried out without disrupting water supply to the rest of the facility. This means your business operations can continue as usual, even during the repair or modification process.
• Cost-Effective: By eliminating the need for draining and refilling the system, pipe freezing saves both time and resources. This makes it a cost-effective solution for commercial establishments.
• Safety: Pipe freezing is a safe method that does not involve cutting pipes or potential flooding risks. It is a non-invasive technique that preserves the integrity of your plumbing system while allowing for necessary work to be done.
