As temperatures continue to drop the likelihood of water damage in your home or office occurring due to a frozen pipe rises.
To Prevent Frozen Pipes
- Add caps to outdoor faucets
- Add additional insulation to water pipes on exterior walls
- Keep cabinet and cupboard doors open on exterior walls to help warm air circulate around pipes
In the case of frozen pipes
- Keep the faucet dripping
- Apply heat to the affected section of pipe with a heating pad or hairdryer
- Apply heat until full water pressure is restored
- If you still have trouble, call a licensed plumber.
