How Do I Prevent Frozen Pipes?
You can do many things to prevent frozen pipes in your home, and Mr. Rooter Plumbing of the Twin Cities can recommend several effective methods. It won’t take long to carry out these measures, and your home’s plumbing will be safer. Protecting your pipes can save you from catastrophic property damage and the enormous costs accompanying repairs or replacements. The following recommended tips to prevent frozen pipes are simple and have proven successful:
- Open a faucet to let a small amount of cold water run. This step keeps water moving in your pipes and prevents them from freezing.
- Ensure warm air circulates around your pipes. For instance, you can open the door to your under-sink cabinet to let warm air into the space.
- Keep air moving around your pipes by placing a small fan near them.
- Properly seal and weather strip your windows, basement doors, and crawlspaces.
- Use pipe insulation materials to insulate your exposed or external pipes.
- Before winter starts, drain all water out of your sprinkler system. Disconnect hoses and drain your outdoor water spigots.
- For situations where pipes are routed through crawlspaces or in exterior walls, we recommend contacting Mr. Rooter Plumbing of the Twin Cities for an assessment to determine if heat tape should be installed to prevent pipes from freezing.
