Ray Plumbing: Expert Solutions for Frozen Pipes
In the cold Toronto winters, frozen pipes are a common yet serious problem that can lead to major damage in homes. At Ray Plumbing, we're equipped with specialized plumbing and heating tools to swiftly and safely thaw your frozen pipes, preventing potential bursts and water damage.
Immediate Action for Frozen Pipes
If you suspect that your pipes have frozen, here are crucial steps to take:
Use safe heating methods like an electric heating pad, a hair dryer, or towels soaked in hot water to gently warm the frozen section.
A portable space heater can be used to warm up areas under the house, but ensure it’s away from flammable materials and never leave it unattended.
Continue applying heat until full water pressure is restored. Wrapping a towel around the pipe afterward can help retain warmth.
If you can’t locate or reach the frozen area, or if your efforts don’t thaw the pipe, it’s time to call a licensed plumber.
Never use open flame devices like blowtorches for thawing pipes, as they pose a significant fire hazard.
Preventing Pipe Freezing
Preventive measures can save you from the hassle and expense of dealing with frozen pipes:
- Keep garage doors closed if there are water lines inside
- Open cabinet doors under sinks to allow warm air circulation
- Let cold water drip from faucets with exposed pipes
- Maintain consistent thermostat settings day and night
- If away during cold weather, keep your home heated to at least 12-15 C (55F)
- If away during cold weather, keep your home heated to at least
- Seal drafts around windows, doors, and foundation
