Keller Frozen Pipe Concerns
When a section of your plumbing system experiences extremely cold temperatures, this can lead to water freezing inside the pipe. As water continues to freeze in that area, a blockage of ice can occur.
As ice forms, expansion can cause stress on your pipe, eventually resulting in a pipe burst. If water can continue flowing through the pipe, you can experience a large amount of water pouring into your home in a short amount of time.
Certain pipes are more susceptible to freezing than others. For example, pipes on exterior walls and pipes with minimal insulation can experience ice formation. Sudden drops in temperature from inclement weather, especially when combined with a malfunctioning HVAC system, can also be a problem.
If your home is susceptible to pipes freezing, there are some steps you can take to prevent this scenario. You can leave water trickling out of faucets to reduce the risk of ice forming in your pipes. You can also leave cabinets open that hold pipes inside them. This allows warm air to circulate around the pipes, preventing freezing.
There are several signs that indicate your pipe may be freezing.
Condensation on pipes
Visible bulging on the exterior of the pipe
Noises within your pipes
Changes in water flow
Visible cracks on pipes
If you notice any of these signs, it’s important that you reach out to our expert plumbers for assistance right away. We can use various techniques to thaw your pipe before it bursts or suffers extensive damage. There may be modifications that we can make to your plumbing system to prevent this problem in the future.
