You are lucky if you get to know that the pipes are frozen before it bursts out. At the very first place shut off the main valve of the pipe if you experience stopped water flow. Then leave the faucets open. Do not use any flames to unfreeze the pipes. Similarly, avoid using an electric heater, hair dryer that will come directly in contact with pipe as the leaking water might cause electrocution. Use the hot rod and connect it to the pipes to thaw it. After it is done, then switch on the valve and let the water flow through it slowly. Check if it is completely defrosted. Once it is done, take a big pipe wrench and slowly take out a pipe. Also use a backup wrench so that you will not end up losing something else. Still, if you are not confident of losing it is better to call a general plumber to avoid further issues.visit:-A-general.com

What is the correct way to apply Teflon tape to a threaded piece of steel pipe?
First, make sure the pipe threads are clean and in good condition. Hold the end of the tape flat against the pipe threads, flush with the end of the pipe, then turn the pipe clockwise, or as though you were tightening it. Put 1-1/2 to 2 turns of tape on the pipe, keeping the tape flat and tight against the pipe as you turn, then thread the pipe immediately into the fitting. The reason for doing it this way is so the loose end gets pinned down by the action of screwing the pipe in, rather than getting flipped up.
