What Should You Do If A Frozen Pipe Bursts?

Homeowners are contacting plumbers and repair companies for assistance. While it is true that frozen pipes are more common in older homes, they may happen to anybody, anyplace. The danger of frozen pipes is determined by the location of the pipes in your home and the kind of insulation used to protect them. When water freezes, it expands, causing leakage or breaking of weak pipes. Frozen pipes are a common occurrence in cold weather. When a frozen pipe bursts in your house, there are some urgent actions you can take, as well as information on how to prevent it and why your pipes burst.

How to Determine if Your Pipes Have Frozen

To avoid damage, it's critical to catch frozen pipes early. Before any damage happens, you should be able to raise your thermostat or consult with a skilled plumber. However, there are a few indicators that might help you determine whether or not your pipe is frozen. No Water - A total absence of water flowing from your faucets or fixtures is an evident indicator that you have frozen pipes. Frost — Whether you can get a good look at your pipes, see if there is any visible frost. Keep track of which segments of the pipe have frost on them. Smell - If your pipes freeze, they will stop food and waste from flowing down the drain, generating a backup and a foul odor in your room.   If you have one of these or another plumbing problem, please contact Us as soon as possible.
