Frozen Pipe Maintenance And Preventive Maintenance Services in North Jersey

Most homeowners can handle a measure of frozen pipe maintenance. You may find the following tips helpful:

• Drip your faucets very slowly at night. This will help keep water constantly flowing through your pipes which may keep them from freezing and bursting.
• Keeping your garage doors closed will help maintain a warmer temperature inside. This helps to prevent your supply lines from freezing up.
• Opening your cabinet doors in your kitchen and bathroom will also help maintain a warmer temperature.

Things to do if your pipes freezes

Not all frozen pipes burst, but when they do, the damage can be costly. Pipes burst because water expands when it’s frozen. That pressure can make even the tiniest crack turn into the biggest problem.

You can try to do a few things to remedy a frozen pipe that hasn’t yet burst:

• Locate the source of the freeze. Don’t bother wasting your time trying to find the source if you’re going at it completely blind.
•  Apply some sort of heat source such as a space heater, electric heating pad, or hair dryer. This will quickly thaw the ice that is built up in the lines. But do not use any extreme heat sources. Intense measures like blow torches, propane heaters, or charcoal ovens may cause more harm than it’s worth.
• Turn on the faucet. As the ice starts to melt, the running water will start to melt more of the ice away. Hard to believe, but cold as the water may be, it does help continue the melting process.
• Finally, call Eco Plumbing Heating & Air to inspect and repair any damage that the ice may have caused.

Unfortunately, however, if the pipe is broken there’s not much you can do yourself. In that case, the best solution is to turn your water off immediately and give us a call. Eco Plumbing Heating & Air is fully equipped to handle any frozen pipe catastrophe.
