(EstateNewsWire.com, January 29, 2013 ) Memphis, TN – When the temperatures drop, even in the South, preventing frozen pipes can help avoid the mess and expense of bursting pipes. Water by its nature expands when frozen and if it expands in one’s plumbing, it can cause pipes to burst. Greenway Home Services plumbing repair Memphis division offers some tips to prevent this from happening.
• One should drain all the lines that will not be used in the winter months. Drain water from swimming pool and water sprinkler supply lines. Checking with the manufacturer should provide directions for doing this or call a plumbing expert..
• Outside faucets should be left open if the line can be shut off inside the house. Keeping the faucet open will allow any remaining water from expanding and bursting the pipe.
• If water lines are located in unheated areas, one should check and make sure that these lines are insulated. If not sure how to insulate pipes one can call a plumbing repair expert like the ones at Greenway Home Services.
• Keep garage doors closed if there are water supply lines in the garage.
• For crawl spaces and other exposed areas, if pipes are not insulated, check the local hardware store for pipe heating products. There are many products like heated pipe tape that can be purchased and installed to prevent freezing. A http://www.classifiedflyerads.com/ad/369975/">plumbing repair professional like the ones at Greenway can provide this service.
• When the temperatures drop below zero, one should leave the water dripping in faucets. Moving water doesn’t freeze as quickly as standing water. Leave kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors open to provide extra heat.
If the pipes do freeze, do not attempt to thaw them out with an open flame as with a torch or gas heater. Many house fires have started this way. One should instead call an expert in plumbing repair such as Greenway Home Services. Visit http://www.plumbingrepairmemphis.org/ to schedule a plumbing expert to the home or call 901-252-0460.
