1. Frozen Pipes And Ways To Deal With Such Emergency Situations
All of you know that water expands when it freezes. And once it expands, considerable pressure
is put on the frozen pipes that burst. It starts with a leak at first and then turns into a crack
which unleashes water when the pressure becomes unbearable. It will cause the water to
overflow in your living area making it a mess and disrupting your way of life.
Determining that your pipes are frozen is easy and regular checking will help you determine so.
Noticing that your pipes are coated with a thin waterline or is bulging out is quite an evident
sign that it is frozen. Problems arise when you are unable to determine whether the pipes that
are hidden are frozen or not.
Though there is a way to find it out. Suppose your faucets are not flowing and toilets are not
refilling properly after flushing is a good way to identify that your pipes are frozen. If your pipes
have not yet burst then there is good chance that you can save the situation.
Once you have found out that you are experiencing frozen pipes, do shut off the water supply
of the entire house to prevent pressure. Call a plumber to thaw it if you do not have the
necessary equipment or do not know how to use it.
After the ice is thawed get ready with buckets, mops or towels in case the pipe bursts or is
experiencing a leak. In case you have called the professionals then you do not have to worry as
they have the required equipment to handle the water spillage. There are also ways to handle
the situation on your own.
Things like space heater and heat lamp is beneficial when you are trying to handle the situation
on your own. Also to eliminate the growth of mildew and mold use a dehumidifier until the
place turns dry.
