Pipes become vulnerable to freezing whenever temperatures drop to 32 degrees Fahrenheit or below. However, many people assume that their HVAC system will protect their plumbing from damage. In many cases, it doesn’t.
The reason is that the average heating system doesn’t disperse warm air where the plumbing runs underneath many structures. For example, the spaces underneath your sinks, if enclosed with cabinets, don’t receive warm air. As a result, those spaces are typically 20 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the rest of your home or building. If you have plumbing running through spaces that don’t have insulation, it can also be vulnerable to freezing.
Look for the following warning signs that your home or commercial building has a frozen pipe.
Water stops flowing
Visible frost on pipes
Whistling or banging sounds
Unusual drain smells
Unfortunately, once a pipe freezes completely, it may be too late to avoid damage. As water freezes, it expands, which can easily deform a pipe. If the pressure builds high enough, it can cause a pipe burst. When that happens, you’ll have a massive flood on your hands as soon as the ice thaws.
If you suspect that your home or building has a frozen or burst pipe, please contact us immediately. Our experienced plumbers can safely thaw frozen pipes without further damage and can perform immediate repairs to fix a burst pipe.
