Winter Doesn't Necessarily Mean Burst Pipes

During winter, burst pipes are very common due to freezing of pipes. However, they can be prevented from occurring if you employ seasonal home maintenance in your plumbing system. The following are some ways on how to avoid frozen pipes.
  1. Know Which Pipes are Potential from Freezing – Pipes exposed to open air, those found in the attics, garages, basements and other non-insulated areas are very prone to freezing. Bear in mind that even hot water pipes also freeze so you should check them out as well from time to time.
  2. Insulate Water Pipes – In insulating water pipes, pay special attention on pipe with freezing potential. Pipes insulators are available in foam tubes which are fitted in every pipe inside the house. Installing them would prevent freezing pipes as they keep each pipe warm.

  3. Do Extra Precautions When it is Extremely Cold – Keep some faucets open and maintain a moderate drip to prevent the pipes from freezing.
  4. Avoid Pipes from Bursting – If your home insulating system breaks, it is necessary to drain water pipes to prevent the water from freezing thus preventing burst pipes. This can be done by turning off the main valve then opening all faucets in the household until water is completely drained.
Perform the aforementioned steps to spare yourself from spending high amounts due to damages caused by burst pipes. The winter season is not really the sole culprit why pipe freezes and bursts because how you protect the pipes inside your house from freezing by doing seasonal maintenance greatly matters. Contact your trusted plumbers now and ask more suggestions on how to prevent occurrence of bursting pipes.
