What To Do For Frozen Pipes
If you notice a loss of pressure at your sink or shower during the winter – this can be caused by frozen pipes. We suggest you inspect any exposed pipes. If you see frozen water surrounding a pipe, the pipe has likely burst. When that pipe thaws, it will start leaking into your home. Turn off your main water immediately. Do not attempt to thaw the pipe using a heater or any flame source. Contact the team of experts at Dahme Mechanical Industries, and we’ll correct your frozen pipes in no time.
Tips to Protect Your Pipes from the Cold
- Turn off the main water valve – you cannot do this if your heating runs on water (e.g. radiators)
- When leaving your home in the winter, do not let your home go below 55 degrees.
- If the temperatures are expected to go below 20 degrees, ask a neighbor, friend, or family member to check on the house regularly
