Frozen Pipe Repair by The Plumbing Artisans
Protecting the home from costly damages from frozen pipes is a major concern for Connecticut residents. You might travel during winter months and leave your home exposed to cold weather. If there is a failure in the heating system, you will need the expertise of a frozen pipe repair plumber.
Unfortunately, frozen water expands and plumbing pipes do not. This divergence of the two represents the danger of busted pipes that causes thousands of dollars in damages. Fortunately, there are some things you can do while waiting for a frozen pipe repair plumber if the pipes freeze.
First, look for the main water valve to turn off the water. Immediately call an emergency plumber who is prepared to handle this type of situation. If you are not sure where to find the main water valve, an employee at the plumbing company can help.
Next, make sure the heat is at least 70 degrees to keep your home warm. In some cases, you could attempt to unthaw the pipes with a hair dryer or heater. If you are uncomfortable with doing this, simply wait for the plumber.
If the situation is dire because pipes have already burst, leave water faucets on but also turn off the main water valve. Contacting an experienced frozen pipe repair plumber can help to prevent a major catastrophe and avoid a recurrence before winter ends.
