Frozen Pipes
Request a Call Back
Winter isnât all about cozy days and the holidays. Itâs all the season when your pipes can freeze over. Freezing pipes are one of the most common issues during winter. A typical pipe runs about four to eight gallons in a minute of water, and if one of these freezes over, you are looking at a financial disaster.
Frozen Pipe Repair
Frozen pipes can happen to anyoneâs plumbing system especially where winters are cold and unforgivable. During freezing temperatures, water in the pipes can form ice. This ice can add excess pressure on the pipes and if this exceeds the 3000 psi limit, your pipes can get split.
Ideally, you should focus on preventing pipes from freezing. However, if you suspect that you have a frozen pipe, or in case a pipe bursts, you need to shut off the main water supply and call a local frozen pipe plumber to assess the extent of the damage and make the necessary repairs and replacements.
