GRANDVIEW, Mo. -- It could be a difficult time for your home's pipes. Some of you may have ended up with the issue over the past couple of days during frigid subzero weather conditions. Since Monday morning, plumbers with Morgan Miller Plumbing were at apartments off 129th Street in Grandview digging through the frozen earth. "Once you are moving its not too bad. But it's pretty cold out here. You just got to keep moving and wear a ton of layers and you'll stay at it," Desi Escriva said. They were digging to get to a broken two inch water line that sent water cascading down a hill. View the latest Weather Alerts in the Kansas City region on FOX4 "This is where the water line broke. There was water coming out of the ground. We had to shut down all four of these buildings here," Nick Frank said. It left plenty of ice behind as crews worked to restore service disrupted by the freezing temperatures. Calls started trickling in on Tuesday, across the metro about faucets and homes without water because of frozen pipes. But the plumbers are ready for those calls to start flooding their offices on Wednesday. "They won't leak right now because they are all frozen. But once they thaw out the leaks will show up that's when we will get busy," Bob Quirk said. FOX4 asked the best advice to thaw frozen pipes and stop them from bursting. Extreme cold temps cause delays, closings for Kansas City area school districts Quirk said you can use a space heater, a hair dryer, or other heating source without an open flame to warm them up. Of course, be careful to follow safety instructions if using a space heater. "You shut the water off down in the basement or at the entrance valve wherever that's at. As you are thawing it out, once it thaws out and you start seeing water dripping, you turn the water on slowly to make sure that it's not broken. If it is broken you get somebody out to fix it," Quirk explained. And hopefully that professional can get the water back running like they were able to do for effected Grandview residents by Tuesday afternoon. "No matter how cold or hot it is out here, I'm happy to be out here doing it for them. We've got to have water and its the one thing us humans really need and I'm glad to be out here and get them going," Escriva said.
