Frozen Pipe Repair and Prevention in Aurora, Colorado

Colorado’s freeze-thaw cycles are hard on pipes, especially in Aurora homes built in the 1970s and 1980s. When temperatures drop, unprotected pipes can freeze and burst in hours. Two Bears Plumbing provides emergency frozen pipe thawing and burst pipe repair, plus winterization inspections to prevent it from happening in the first place.

Why Aurora Pipes Freeze

Aurora sits at 5,400 feet elevation with winter temperatures regularly dropping below 0°F. The daily freeze-thaw cycle — freezing at night, warming during the day — puts repeated stress on pipes. Water expands when it freezes, and that pressure has to go somewhere. If the pipe can’t flex, it bursts.

The most vulnerable pipes in Aurora homes are in:

• Crawl spaces — unheated, exposed to ground-level cold
• Exterior walls — especially on north-facing walls with poor insulation
• Attics — above the insulation layer
• Garages — unheated spaces with water supply lines
• Uninsulated pipe runs — especially older copper pipe without insulation

Emergency Frozen Pipe Response

If you think your pipes are frozen, call (720) 740-2481 immediately. Time matters — a frozen pipe that hasn’t burst yet can be saved. A pipe that’s been frozen for hours is at high risk of bursting.

We arrive fast, locate the frozen section, and use professional thawing equipment to safely restore flow. If the pipe has already burst, we contain the damage, make the repair, and check the rest of your home for other vulnerable pipes.

Winterization Services

Prevention is cheaper than repair. For a full breakdown of what to expect, read our guide on frozen pipe repair costs in Aurora. Our winterization inspection covers:

• Checking pipe insulation in crawl spaces, attics, and exterior walls
• Installing heat tape on vulnerable pipe runs
• Adding insulation where needed
• Testing outdoor faucets and hose bibs
• Inspecting water heater for cold-weather readiness
• Recommending thermostat settings to prevent freezing

We recommend scheduling winterization before the first hard freeze, typically October or November in Aurora.

Heat Tape Installation

For pipes that can’t be relocated or fully insulated, heat tape is a permanent solution. Electrical heat tape wraps around the pipe and provides gentle warmth when temperatures drop. It’s thermostatically controlled — it only turns on when the pipe temperature drops to freezing.

We install heat tape on copper, PEX, and CPVC pipes in crawl spaces, attics, and exterior walls. It’s an affordable investment that prevents thousands in burst pipe damage.
