In this blog post, we'll provide you with valuable tips and solutions to prevent burst pipes and minimize water damage.

Why Do Pipes Burst in Winter?

Pipes burst in winter due to the freezing temperatures, which cause the water inside the pipes to expand. This expansion can lead to increased pressure, causing the pipes to rupture. Additionally, poor insulation, corroded pipes, and clogged drains can also contribute to pipe bursts. If you're experiencing a burst pipe emergency, our Emergency Water Extraction (24-7 Service) is available to help you.

Preventive Measures

To prevent burst pipes, follow these tips:

• Insulate exposed pipes in unheated areas like the garage, basement, or crawlspace
• Seal any cracks or gaps in walls, floors, and ceilings to prevent cold air from entering
• Let cold water drip from the faucet served by exposed pipes
• Open cabinet doors to allow warm air to circulate around pipes
• Consider installing freeze-proof faucets or frost-proof spigots
