Preventing Frozen Pipes & Frozen Pipe Replacement

When winter rolls around, the first thing that all homeowners should be concerned about is frozen pipes. Frozen pipes are more than just a temporary inconvenience. As the water inside the pipes turns to ice, it expands and can eventually exert enough pressure to burst your pipes. Pressure from freezing can reach pressures of 3,000 psi or more. Even a few minutes of a household’s water running through a burst pipe can cause tens of thousands of dollars in damage.

How to Prevent Frozen Pipes

The best way to handle frozen pipes is to prevent them. Making sure that all external piping is insulated and well-protected from the cold is the first step. Next, ensure that all household openings (windows, basement openings, doors, etc.) have weather stripping or caulking to prevent interior pipe freezing.

Another technique you can use to prevent frozen pipes is to leave your taps dripping. While wasting water is rarely a good idea, keeping the water in your pipes moving makes it much less likely to freeze. So when temperatures drop, keep those taps dripping.
