Frozen Pipe Repair
Frozen pipes are usually caused by cold snaps, poorly insulated pipes, and home thermostats that are set too low. Yes, over time the pipe will thaw out eventually by itself (once warmer temperatures roll around) but you may not have the luxury of time. If left unaddressed, frozen pipes can lead to burst pipes and substantial leaks. It’s usually characterized by a complete or partial loss of water flow, and you’ll probably notice frost or bulging at the pipe site.
If you suspect that some of your pipes have frozen, give us a call. We can quickly and efficiently remedy any issues you are experiencing. While hot-water-down-the-drain and hairdryer DIY fixes can help, your best bet is to get a professional in. We’ll thoroughly assess your system and complete the necessary repairs, setting your pipes up for long term health.
Here’s a few tips and tricks so you don’t have to call us in a panic in the future:
During cold snaps and particularly cold temperatures, maintain water flow by letting taps ‘drip’ (particularly taps that are served by exposed pipes).
Make sure your home is reasonably warm during cold temperatures.
Keep pipes well-insulated. You may need to further insulate vulnerable areas (like your attic) or relocate pipes.
Burst Pipe Repair
Wells are stable contraptions when installed correctly, but they still require maintenance and repairs over the years. Here are some things to watch for:
Complete loss of water
Fluctuating water pressure or a sudden change in water pressure
Sediment in water
Air bubbles in your water flow
A well pump that constantly works overtime
If you notice any of the above, it’s time to get a specialist in. Our professionals can help you determine the root of the problem and provide an efficient and effective response.
Avoid burst pipes in the future by:
Employing the steps in our last section (most particularly if the burst pipe was due to frozen pipes).
Make sure your pipes are in good working condition and watch for signs of corrosion.
Maintain a normal flow within your pipes. Resolve clogs immediately and reduce water pressure if excessively high. High-pressure showers may be relaxing, but they aren’t healthy for your pipes.
Get your pipework installed and repaired by a professional every time. Plumbing issues can lead to substantial property damage; it’s not the time or place for DIY installation attempts and repairs.
