Rather, we use the liquid contents of a short section of pipe are frozen using liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide  to form a plug of ice, efficiently blocking off the relevant part of the pipe that requires work. At Faans Plumbing & Drainage, we offer pipe freezing service, with the ability to freeze most of the metal pipe systems between 6-40 mm in diameter. Our technique of controlled pipe freezing can be used for valve replacements, pipe changes, hydrostatic testing and system maintenance.

On completion of the repairs and maintenance, the ice plug can be left to melt naturally, enabling the system to flow once more. Call our friendly service team to figure out more or schedule an appointment today.
