Don’t Let Your Pipes Freeze!

Don’t Let Your Pipes Freeze!

When it comes to frozen pipe prevention West Michigan homeowners have counted on The Repairman since 1981. Of all the problems a Michigan winter can bring, few are as sudden or as costly as a burst pipe. A frozen line can split and release water in a matter of minutes, and the damage it leaves behind is far more expensive than the simple steps that would have prevented it.

Why pipes freeze and burst

Water expands as it freezes, and when it does so inside a pipe the pressure has nowhere to go. Pipes in unheated spaces, along exterior walls, in crawl spaces and near outdoor faucets are the most vulnerable. All it takes is one hard cold snap to turn an overlooked pipe into a flooded floor.

Simple steps that prevent big damage

Before the deep cold arrives, it pays to insulate exposed pipes, seal drafts near plumbing runs, and disconnect and drain outdoor faucets and hoses. Knowing where your main shut-off is can also save the day if a line ever does fail. These are small, affordable measures that head off one of winter’s most common emergencies.
