A pipe cannot be cut or repaired by a plumber, while water is running through it. Pipe freezing kits solve this problem by creating ice seals wherever they are needed, holding back the flow of water. Drains R Us, your local Denver plumber is equipped with this specialized equipment.
The ice seals can hold back a large amount of pressure since ice adheres to steel. Friction and irregular pipe shape also contribute to holding the seal in place, even when the pressure is very great.
While accidental ice formation can damage a pipe, and create costly repairs, controlled pipe freezing doesn’t pose such a risk.
The uneven formation of the ice during accidental freezing can cause pressure differentials in the unfrozen water that can cause breaks in pipe.
