How to Prevent Frozen Plumbing Pipes and Costly Pipe Repair.
When water freezes it has the power to easily crack or burst your home’s plumbing pipes—creating a plumbing emergency you don’t want.
Prevent pipes from freezing with the following tips:
- Drain pool and sprinkler lines and use an indoor shutoff to keep water out of outdoor hose bibs.
- Insulate any pipes (even hot water lines) in unheated areas, such as basements, attics or garages. Pipes that run along exterior walls without adequate insulation frequently freeze.
- During extremely cold periods, letting water trickle from your faucets can prevent frozen pipes.
Save your home from serious damage, contact your local Rescue Rooter® plumbing professional immediately if you suspect the water in your pipes has frozen, and for other pipe repairs.
