Winter onset carries a cooler temperature. This cooler temperature along with poor protection against elements is the main cause of frozen pipes so it leads to a burst pipe and the need for plumbing pipe services. There are several steps that can be taken to protect the pipe from freezing.
Pipes in areas that are not heated such as garage, attic, basement, and crawling space must be isolated. To do this wrap all areas that are open from the pipe with the isolation band or the arms of the pipe that is formed. Make sure to also cover all equipment of the pipe, tap, and value with the isolation band. If there are problems continuously with frozen pipes, let the value open by letting the flow of water continue to flow from the farthest tap from the road. But this is defecation so it only uses the minimal flow and only does it for pipes that flow through areas that are not heated. If the problem continues to place the light from the hot light towards the pipe in the area that is most often frozen.
To protect from the outdoors, remove the garden hose and if possible turn off the outer water channel, then drain the pipe by turning on the outer tap until the water flow stops. If this is not possible to wrap the outer tap with a foam or fiberglass isolation cover. In a state clip in the newspaper or cloth, then cover with plastic and safe with isolation tape. Sticking around the outside pipe and ventilation of sealing foundations with wood or foam beams is another good way to protect against elements and unwanted tien bills. There is also electric heating and cable cassette that can be run along the water pipe to help prevent water from freezing in the channel. But this must be used properly to protect against fire, so when hesitant calls a plug to check that the pipe is safe for the use of this product and for advice on how to run it.
If the house will not be inhabited for a long period of time during the winter months, it is a good idea to turn off and drain the water system before going to prevent frozen pipes. To do this just turn off the main shut-off valve, then turn on all faucets throughout the house. Let the tap until all the water is dried from the pipe, then it's okay to turn it off. If the house will only be inhabited for one or two days, let the stove low and open all the doors of the wardrobe where the water channel is located.
If there is a pipe that is suspected to be frozen, do not take risks, and immediately contact the plug. In the case of the explosive pipe turn off the nearest closure valve, if there is no isolated valve for the piping area, turn off the main valve. Immediately contact someone who offers an emergency pipe service. Failure to do so can cause greater costs and damage.
