How can I fix a frozen pipe safely without causing damage?
Thaw a frozen pipe slowly with gentle, indirect heat. Do not use an open flame. Open the nearest faucet to relieve pressure, then warm the pipe starting at the faucet side with a hair dryer on low, heating pads, or warm towels. If you suspect a crack, shut off the main water valve first. Check for leaks as it thaws. If it bursts or you can’t reach it, we offer 24/7 emergency plumbing in Palm Springs and Indio. Our techs can locate hidden leaks with cameras.

Start by looking for water stains, bubbling paint, or a musty smell. Shut off fixtures one by one to see if dripping slows. For a precise locate, we perform plumbing leak detection and camera inspections to see inside lines without tearing out walls. For slab-related leaks, we can pinpoint and repair or reroute lines to protect finished floors.
Quick checks:
- Turn off all water and watch the meter for movement.
- Listen for hissing behind walls.
- Check above the stain (bath, kitchen, laundry) first.

Resetting the button won’t fix root causes like heavy sediment buildup or a tankless unit overloaded by back-to-back use. In hard-water areas, minerals collect inside the heater, reducing output until the tank is flushed or the tankless unit is descaled. We offer annual tune-ups and tank/tankless maintenance, plus 24/7 emergency service. Our technicians assess repair vs replace and properly size systems for homes in Palm Desert, Indio, and Yucca Valley.
Quick checks:
- Look for leaks, discolored water, or strange noises.
- If hot water drops during consecutive showers, the tankless may be undersized.

Slab leak detection and repair costs depend on where the leak is, how we access it, and the repair method, so a technician will confirm pricing after on-site diagnosis. We use non-invasive locating tools and can repair by opening the slab or rerouting lines to protect finished floors. When suitable, trenchless pipe lining restores pipes in 1–2 days. ServicePlus Plan members receive discounts on diagnostics and repairs. Current offers include $75 OFF any plumbing or HVAC repair. Emergency help is available 24/7 in La Quinta and Palm Desert.

A licensed plumber will find the source (connection, valve, or corrosion) and advise repair vs replacement.
Quick steps:

UV light installation cost depends on your system and home. Exact pricing requires an in-home assessment; a technician will confirm on site. UV air treatment systems use ultraviolet light to destroy indoor air pollutants. They are often paired with HEPA filtration for stronger results. We install and integrate UV lights with your HVAC in Palm Desert, Palm Springs, and nearby areas. Cost drivers include lamp type and count, access to the air handler, electrical needs, and pairing with HEPA.

If your AC runs but doesn’t blow cold air, it’s usually airflow or refrigerant related. Common causes include a dirty filter, a frozen evaporator coil, a blocked outdoor condenser, low refrigerant, incorrect thermostat mode, or a failed capacitor or fan motor. General Air Conditioning & Plumbing provides 24/7 emergency HVAC service and stocked trucks for fast repairs in areas like Palm Springs and Indio.
Quick checks:
- Set thermostat to Cool, fan Auto.
- Replace a dirty filter.
- Clear debris around the outdoor unit (2–3 ft).
- If ice is present, turn system Off and let it thaw.

If your circuit breaker keeps tripping, stop resetting it and call for emergency electrical service. Frequent trips are a listed emergency sign and can indicate an overload, short, or damaged wiring. We offer rapid response with 24/7 live answering, upfront pricing, and background‑checked, drug‑tested electricians across Palm Desert and Palm Springs.
Quick checks:
- Unplug high‑draw devices on that circuit.
- Reset the breaker once. If it trips again, leave it off.
- If you smell burning or see damage, evacuate and call immediately.

Pricing for a residential electrical inspection varies by home size, system complexity, and whether it’s a full safety check or a targeted diagnostic. You’ll get upfront pricing after an on-site assessment. Service-Plus Membership can reduce costs because it includes two free inspections and an annual electrical safety and efficiency inspection (offer expires October 31, 2025). We back our work with strong guarantees and warranties.
What can affect price:
- Number of panels and circuits
- Age/condition of wiring
- Add-ons like GFCI/AFCI or surge protection recommendations

A light that stays on while the switch “does nothing” usually means the switch failed closed or the circuit is miswired so the light is fed constant power. It can also be a 3‑way setup where the other switch failed, a loose back‑stabbed connection at the switch, or a smart/dimmer stuck. If you smell burning, see scorch marks, or hear buzzing, treat it as urgent and call.
Quick checks:
- Try the other 3‑way switch, if present.
- Toggle the breaker once.
- Do not open the box if you’re not trained.
