Dec 18, 2018 at 0:00 comment added Ed Beal Since you have it dripping let it continue, a small dribble will help melt the ice in the pipe and once it flows keep that faucet at a small dribble to prevent it from freezing again, I agree that unless it bursts a plumber is going to cost more than they are worth because the pipe may be fine. Be prepared to turn the water off to the house and once the water is flowing again watch for wet spots in the walls and ceilings down stairs. I have seen pinhole leaks cut holes right through sheetrock without much mess elsewhere just be aware once the ice melts there may be a leak.

Feb 22, 2015 at 20:37 comment added Jasmine B Thank you. I'm actually a tenant living in my aunt and uncle's house. They said they never had a problem with freezing pipes. But this has been a really cold winter. She is out of the country until late next month so I don't think she would want me to do any major reworking. I guess I'll just wait until the weather warms up and let the pipes resolve themselves. I think this is supposed to be the last cold week, so hopefully everything will be fine.
