Preventing Frozen Pipes in Norfolk Winters
Bad weather is obviously a major cause of frozen pipes, but ill-preparation also plays a role.
Make sure all exposed pipes are properly insulated. Not sure how? We offer heat tape and pipe insulation throughout Norfolk, as well as various other winter plumbing prevention services.
You can also play your part by maintaining a consistent temperature of at least 60°F, opening cabinets to let warm air circulate, and placing covers on outdoor faucets.
Damage from Burst or Frozen Pipes
Ice has more volume than water, so when your pipes freeze, they also expand. But water is still trying to force its way through the ice plug, creating immense pressure that eventually ruptures the pipe, causing a catastrophic burst that can do serious damage to your drywall, flooring, walls, and cabinets.
The problems don’t end there, as all that water damage can lead to mold, structural damage, and even infestations of pests that thrive in damp places, such as pill bugs.
So, while a frozen pipe may seem minor, it’s an issue that can spiral very quickly. Contract Mr. Rooter® today for emergency frozen water line repair services in Norfolk, VA.
