Derby Frozen Pipe Repair Reviews
While I am not a writer of Google reviews, I wanted to take this time to write about the air conditioning system I had installed in my home in Stratford. Dan, Joe, and Marc make a formidable team. They worked tirelessly to install a 2-unit system, and it was done very well. What I appreciated was the fact that Marc took the time to explain how the system was being installed in the attic and both he and Joe answered several questions I had with both knowledge and respect. While there were a few slight issues, they have been resolved and the system is working just fine. In addition to the excellent service I received with the installation of the system, Paul made a call to the house to check other issues including the thermostat in the basement. This was defective and he has promised that they will replace it. I know it will be done in a timely manner. Raps has been servicing both my heating and air-conditioning systems for approximately two years. I have been very please with the company and know the good service will continue. Thank you for being a great company.
I called Raps at 9:00 AM and Dan arrived at 1:00 PM to unclog my bathroom sink drain. Work went very smoothly and professionally. I had tried for 2 hours to fix it myself without success. I was concerned that wallboard needed removal for the fix, but Dan's snake did the job. I was very happy with the results.

Tips for thawing frozen pipes in Derby CT :
- Apply heat to the section of pipe using an electric heating pad wrapped around the pipe, electric hair dryer, a portable space heater (kept away from flammable materials), or by wrapping pipes with towels soaked in hot water.
- Do not use a blowtorch, kerosene or propane heater, charcoal stove or other open flame device.
- Do not let a heating pad, hair dryer, or other electrical device come into contact with water.
- Do not leave any heat source unattended at any time.
- Keep the faucet open. As you treat the frozen pipe and the frozen area begins to melt, water will begin to flow through the frozen area. Running water through the pipe will help melt more ice in the pipe.
