Full-Service Plumbing Company in London, ON Explains How to Prevent Frozen Pipes This Winter

London, ON – With the holidays comes the reminiscing of old memories and the making of new ones. Most of them are sweet and wonderful, but of course, everyone has a holiday memory or two that they were not able to laugh about until a few years later. As a full-service plumbing company in London, ON, Triton Plumbing + Services is explaining how to avoid letting a frozen pipe disaster become one of those not-so-wonderful holiday memories.

When the water in a pipe cools to a few degrees below freezing, ice begins to form inside the pipe. The issue is that when water turns to ice, it increases in volume, causing the pipe to break. This can cost a household a load of money in damages. Fortunately, there are several measures a person can take to prepare their home for dropping temperatures.

One of the ways to prevent a pipe from freezing is to open the faucet slightly so that a tiny bit of water is constantly trickling through the pipe. The continuous movement of water will greatly discourage the liquid from freezing.

Opening the faucet is the most direct, invasive tactic, but there are various techniques that involve the outside of the pipes. It is best if the area surrounding the pipe has warm air circulating it. There are several ways of going about this. For example, opening the cabinet under the sink and placing a fan nearby can help warm air make its way to the pipe. It is also important to ensure that exposed pipes are equipped with the proper insulation and to drain the sprinkler system by disconnecting the hoses and water spigots before winter arrives.

Make sure to follow each of these freeze prevention tips, but if the unfavorable does occur, contact Triton Plumbing + Services for 24/7 plumbing services.
