This is real, unfiltered Monday morning reality.It’s 5:25 AM during one of the coldest stretches of the year in New York — and the phone won’t stop ringing. Frozen pipes. No water. Crawl spaces. Programmable thermostats set too low. And hard conversations no homeowner wants to hear.In this uncut, uncensored episode, Mikey Pipes breaks down what actually happens during extreme cold snaps:• Why frozen pipe calls explode overnight• Why PEX piping changes everything• Why not every frozen pipe can be “thawed”• Why trip charges are what they are• Why some calls get priority — and others don’t• And why waiting until it’s too late costs youYou’ll hear real phone calls, real pricing explanations, and real frustration — not just from homeowners, but from the guy making the calls that no one wants to receive.We also check in on the War Board, track real maintenance agreement numbers, and talk honestly about growth, limits, and responsibility — both as a contractor and as a homeowner.This is not advice sugar-coated for clicks.This is how it really goes when it’s 5 degrees outside and the pipes freeze.❤️ SUPPORT MIKey PIPES PHILANTHROPYYour donations help fund emergency plumbing & heating assistance for families who can’t afford help during extreme weather.Ways to Donate:PayPal: mike@mikeypipes.comZelle: mike@mikeypipes.comVenmo: @PipeDoctorCashApp: $mikeypipesnyEvery contribution helps keep someone warm, safe, and dry.👇👇👇How do YOU think these calls should be handled?Drop your take in the comments — especially if you’ve been on either side of this conversation.👍 Smash the thumbs up🔔 Subscribe for real-world plumbing & business truth💬 Comment — I read them all⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 – Monday morning reality01:10 – The 5:25 AM frozen pipe calls03:40 – PEX piping & why thawing fails06:15 – Trip charges & thawing machine costs09:30 – Waiting too long = bigger damage12:00 – Maintenance clients vs emergencies14:20 – War Board update & real numbers15:45 – Final message: stay warm & stay safe🔎 HASHTAGS #FrozenPipes#PlumbingReality#MikeyPipesUncensored
