DULLES, VA, December 24, 2010 (Press-News.org) The last thing anyone wants is to have to call for emergency plumbing repairs. Accidents do happen, however, especially when old pipes and cold temperatures mix. AbleAir-1 offers timely help for your plumbing problems by providing plumbing services in Fairfax, Leesburg, Reston, Vienna, Arlington and surrounding Northern Virginia areas.
Avoid Frozen Outdoor Pipes
Frozen pipes aren't just annoying, but they can also be expensive. When water freezes it expands and can easily burst pipes. Old pipes are more likely to burst, but even brand new plumbing can be destroyed if the water freezes. In some areas of the country, frozen pipes are rarely a problem. In Northern Virginia, the weather can get cold enough, especially overnight, to make this something to prepare for.
Fortunately, there are many steps you can take to avoid or at least minimize the risk for emergency plumbing repairs, especially in the wintertime.
Any exposed pipes, even those in a crawlspace, should be wrapped in pipe insulation to keep the water from freezing. A plumbing company like AbleAir-1 can handle this preventative insulation for you. You could also use a special kind of pipe insulation know as heat tape. This tape is wrapped around the pipes and plugged into an outlet to keep plumbing at a safe temperature. Don't forget about exposed drain pipes which can also freeze and require emergency plumbing repairs.
Indoor Plumbing Precautions
Because kitchen sinks are usually on an outside wall, the pipes going to and from the sink are at a higher risk of freezing than those inside the house. On nights where temperatures drop below freezing, leaving your cabinet doors open can help heat in your home surround the pipes and prevent these pipes from freezing. Another preventative measure is allowing your tap to run at a very thin stream or drip throughout the night. Allowing water to move through the pipes can keep pipes from freezing.The extra water usage won't cost nearly as much as emergency plumbing services for repairing frozen pipes.
Water Heater Maintenance
A plumbing company like AbleAir-1 can service your water heater before winter and make sure everything is in good working order. A skilled and experienced technician can also look at your home's plumbing and point out potential spots where pipe insulation and other measures could help prevent problems.
AbleAir-1 can handle all of your plumbing services and repairs including water heater installation and repair, toilets, bathtubs, dishwashers, washers, sewers, drains, sump pumps, water lines replacements and more.
