pipe freezing

**Pipe Freezing** refers to a method used in plumbing and construction to temporarily freeze water inside a pipe, creating an ice plug that stops the flow without needing to drain the entire system. This technique is especially useful for making repairs, modifications, or installations on existing piping without shutting off water to an entire building or area. Pipe freezing is commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings to save time, reduce downtime, and avoid water damage during maintenance work.
