Here Are 3 To Be Aware of Regarding Your Pipes

Frozen pipes

This is a very common cold weather problem experienced throughout the areas mentioned above. As water within your pipes freezes, it usually expands and causes breaking or bursting. We recommend that you wrap your pipes with heating elements or insulation materials to prevent them from freezing in the cold winter weather.

Leaking pipes

One of the more common problems experienced by homeowners are leaking plumbing pipes. Leaks are commonly found at the joints between plumbing fittings and pipes. In most cases, our emergency plumbers can usually remove these components and salvage them so they can be used again. However, when there are pinhole leaks (punctures) in the pipe walls, we will have to remove the damaged pipe and replace it.

Noisy pipes

It is not uncommon for plumbing pipes to rattle or squeal from time to time. We often refer to these noises as “water hammer.” This typically occurs when the flow of water through the pipes is interrupted suddenly by closing the tap on your fixtures. We can correct these problems by installing water hammer arresters (additional pipes) onto the existing water system.
