The Safe Way to Thaw Frozen Pipes

Open all faucets.
One or more pipes may not be completely frozen and even a small water flow might thaw the obstruction.
If that fails
Use a hair dryer to heat the pipe where you suspect the freeze has occurred. Propane torches are dangerous and can cause fires.
If you have a basement
Locate the spot where the water pipe enters the home. See if this pipe passes through an non-insulated area such as the "ribbon plate" right above the walls. Apply heat to any suspect area.
If you have a crawl space
Look for any area where cold air can enter. Apply heat to all sections of pipes located in this area.
If you don't have a hair dryer
Use a heat lamp or electric space heater, but be careful you don't overload the circuit, and make sure the outlet is properly grounded to prevent electrical shock.
If you feel you really must use a propane torch
Be especially careful not to let the flame come in contact with any wood or surrounding flammable material. Many fires are caused by accidents which occur through carelessness, and because a ready supply of water is not available due to the obstruction.

A good idea is to surround the area to be heated with "sheet rock" or gypsum board (drywall), but keep in mind that these are paper-coated.
