Every winter, residents of Rhode Island adapt to the cold weather and the chores that come with it. Unfortunately, the pipes in our homes are not as adaptable as we are.
When water freezes in a pipe, it causes the pipe to crack and leak, eventually leading to a bursted pipe. When a pipe bursts, your home is at serious risk of water damage that costs you thousands to repair. If there’s even a small risk that your pipes are frozen, it’s always cheaper to simply call a Providence plumber to come have a look.
If you suspect that your pipes are freezing, call the Providence pipe repair experts at DiRocco Plumbing & Heating Services immediately at (401) 255-5218.
The easiest way to tell if a pipe is frozen is if your water flow slows to a trickle or stops completely. If your pipes are frozen, you must shut off the water main immediately. Doing this will relieve pressure on the system and prevent additional water from entering your pipes, lowering the risk of flooding your home. Next, temporarily thaw the ice with a hair dryer. Never use an open flame to thaw frozen pipes.
Finally, call a professional, even if you have thawed your pipes. When pipes freeze, they must be winterized by an experienced plumbing professional. Our Providence plumbers will make sure your pipes are protected from another freeze.
