SERVICES FOR THE PREVENTION AND REPAIR OF FROZEN PIPE

The high cold, along with the wind chill, increases the likelihood of frozen or burst pipes by a significant margin. Freezing water condenses and solidifies within the pipe, where it can expand and cause the line to get clogged. This obstruction can cause excessive pressure to build up throughout the system, resulting in pipe failure in particularly vulnerable areas, regardless of whether the pipe is constructed of plastic, copper, or steel. Even a little fissure has the potential to release more than 250 gallons of water in a given day. Property damage and costly repair expenses might ensue as a result of frozen water pipes bursting and bursting again.

Follow these plumbing tips to help reduce the likelihood of frozen pipes, as well as to help avoid damage and costly repairs.

Remove the water main from the structure if you have frozen pipes. This will lessen pressure on the frozen pipes and reduce flooding if the pipes rupture.

If the frozen pipe is accessible and visible, a hair dryer can be used to thaw the ice blockage and remove it. (Do not thaw the food over an open flame!) If frozen pipes are not visible, contact Midwest Plumbing, who will dispatch a team of professionals.

Call a plumber as soon as possible if you detect reduced water flow and suspect frozen pipes are in your future. Problems like this are usually able to be fixed before any real harm is done.
If you have frozen water pipes, call our Midwest Plumbing plumbing specialists, who will utilize professional pipe-thawing equipment to get the problem resolved.

Midwest Plumbing offers a full range of basement plumbing services, including water leak detection and laundry room maintenance. Additionally, in the event of a burst or leaky pipe, our water cleanup crew can remove the water and dry your home in a professional manner.

Pipes that have been frozen should be avoided.
Open cabinet doors under sinks and in storage areas to allow heat from the room to travel around pipes that are not properly insulated. A trickle of hot and cold water should drop overnight; however, be careful not to direct the water into a drain line that is exposed to extreme cold, as this could cause the line to freeze.

Make sure to insulate all pipes in unheated places, such as garages and crawl spaces, or against uninsulated exterior walls. Heat tape or thermostat-controlled heat wires should be used to wrap around pipes that are exposed and liable to freezing.

Ascertain that the heat is turned on in the building and that the temperature is not set lower than 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
