Frozen pipe bursts can cause significant damage to homes and businesses, especially during unexpected cold snaps. Jacksonville may not experience extended winter freezes, but when temperatures drop quickly, pipes without proper insulation are at risk. First Coast Contracting provides dependable frozen pipe burst repair services throughout Jacksonville, Orange Park, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, and nearby areas. With more than 50 years of combined experience, our team offers skilled service with minimal disruption to your daily life.
Even short periods of freezing temperatures can be enough to cause water inside your pipes to freeze. As water freezes, it expands and exerts pressure on the walls of your plumbing. If the pipe can’t contain the pressure, it can rupture, leading to major water damage. In places like Jacksonville Beach and St. Augustine, where pipes may not be adequately insulated, this is a frequent winter concern.
Pipes most at risk include those in unheated areas like attics, crawl spaces, exterior walls, and garages. Many homes across Duval and St. Johns counties were not originally built with freeze protection in mind. When cold fronts pass through and temperatures drop overnight, pipes that aren’t shielded or properly insulated can freeze and crack quickly.
At First Coast Contracting, we take a step-by-step approach to ensure each job is handled correctly, efficiently, and safely.
When we arrive, our technicians use thermal cameras and moisture meters to locate frozen sections and water damage. Whether you’re in Riverside, Mandarin, or Ponte Vedra Beach, we take the time to check each potentially affected area. We inspect accessible plumbing and assess surrounding structures for signs of moisture or ice buildup.
Thawing frozen pipes improperly can cause further damage. We use electric heating cables, infrared lamps, or warm air tools to gradually and safely bring frozen pipes back to temperature. This controlled approach helps avoid cracks from sudden thermal changes or steam buildup.
Once pipes are thawed, we inspect for cracks or bulges. Damaged sections are either repaired with new fittings or replaced entirely, depending on the extent of the damage. In homes across Atlantic Beach and Ortega, we often install modern materials like PEX tubing for better freeze resistance.
After the repair, we perform thorough pressure and leak tests to confirm your system is functioning correctly. This includes checking valves and water pressure regulators. Our goal is to restore water service without any lingering issues.
We believe in long-term solutions. Our team can insulate exposed pipes, install heat tape, and seal drafty areas to help prevent future freezing. In Jacksonville Beach and East Arlington, we help homeowners prepare for winter weather well before the first cold night hits.
Any damaged drywall, flooring, or ceilings affected by the burst pipe will be restored. We clean up work areas thoroughly and restore cosmetic damage to its previous state. Your home or office will look as good as it did before the pipe burst—often better.
We’re proud of our reputation for reliable service and attention to detail. Our experience with frozen pipe repair throughout Jacksonville, Neptune Beach, and surrounding areas means we understand local needs.
We respond quickly to emergencies, often arriving the same day when possible. Our technicians are licensed and trained, using the latest technology for leak detection and pipe repair. We also work with insurance companies to provide detailed reports, documentation, and help you manage your claim.
Each project includes a clear, written estimate so there are no surprises. Our customers appreciate the transparency and consistency we bring to every job.

Homeowners can take simple steps to reduce the risk of frozen pipes. These include insulating pipes in unheated spaces, sealing cracks around foundations and windows, and allowing faucets to drip slowly during freeze warnings. Our team offers winter readiness inspections and can recommend specific upgrades for your property in St. Johns County or Duval County.
If your pipes have frozen before, it’s especially important to plan ahead. Repeat freezing incidents can weaken pipe walls and increase the chance of another burst.
