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.

Whether you live in the city center or along the coast, we have a technician nearby ready to help.
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.
We offer 24/7 emergency response. During a freeze event, we aim to arrive on-site—whether in Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, or Orange Park—within 2 to 4 hours. Our goal is to stop water loss and limit damage right away.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
