What To Do If Your Pipes Burst

- Frost forming around your pipes.

3 Ways To Prevent A Frozen Pipe
The weather report is grim, and your elderly relatives keep talking about how snow is coming, they can feel it “in their bones.” Here are some tips that may help:
- Increase the temperature of your water heater by a few degrees.
- Ensure there are no gaps in your attic or crawl space for cold air to get in.
- Keep the water flowing through your pipes – don’t switch off the mains.
These three steps will all help to lower the risk of your pipes freezing this winter. But if the worst still happens, our plumbing repairs team have all the knowledge and experience required to get your water running again. We’ve worked on homes and businesses from West Toledoa to Oregon and back again, so don’t hesitate to call.
Thawing A Frozen Pipe
It’s always best to leave thawing a frozen pipe to the professionals. That being said, we understand that some of you have very “hands-on” mindsets and will want to try defrosting a frozen pipe yourself.
If that sounds familiar, while you wait for our repair team to reach your location, try this:
- Locate the section of pipe you think is frozen.
- Gently warm it by wrapping it in a towel soaked with hot water, or use a hair dryer.
- After a few minutes, check to see if your faucets start running again.
Do not attempt this if there is any risk of harm. It’s perfectly fine to try it if the pipe is easy to reach, but if it’s situated high up on the outside of your property, leave it to us. Waiting for one of our vans to show up will be less hassle than having to go to the hospital.
