Frozen Water pipes Service Plumber Contractor {Placerville|Shingle Springs|Cameron Park|El Dorado Hills|Folsom|Gold River|Carmichael|Rancho Cordova|Elk Grove|West Sacramento| CA



A faucet that won't produce water will be the very first sign of frozen pipes. When a severe freezing snap hits, stop freezing and subsequent bursting of pipes by following the solutions below. Even if the water pipes do freeze up, you'll be able to unfreeze them before they explode if you take action immediately. When climate fall very low, here is how to keep the water lines from freezing:

Keep a trickle of water running from the faucets.
Beam a heat lamp fixture or small heater at exposed conduits.
Wrap uninsulated water pipes with newspapers, heating wires, foam, or self-adhesive insulating tape.
Keep doors ajar between heated and unheated places.
Thawing Frozen Water pipes

If your conduit freezes:

Shut off the water at the main shutoff valve and open the faucet nearest to the frozen pipe so it may drain as it thaws.
Waterproof the space with containers and plastic drop clothes just in case leaks occur.
Use one of the following methods to gradually heat the frozen water pipe. Make sure you work from the faucet in the direction of the iced-up area.
Propane Torch With a flame-spreading-nozzle, the torch will rapidly thaw a frozen water pipe.
Safety Tip Shield flammable spots using a fireproof sheet, don't let the pipe get too hot to touch.
Hair Dryer Used like the torch, a dryer will gently thaw the conduit.
Heating Pad Wrap a length of pipe with a heating pad.
Heat Lamp For pipes behind walls, floors, or ceilings, beam a heat lamp 8 or more inches from the surface.
Hot Water If no other technique are available, cover the water pipe (except plastic) in rags and dump hot water on it.
