If you need frozen pipe repair, the experts at Roto-Rooter Plumbing &amp; Water Cleanup have your back.</p><h2>Why Pipe Freezing Occurs</h2><p>Extremely cold weather can freeze pipes. When this happens, the frozen water inside the pipe causes the material to expand and form small cracks. Adding more water pressure inside the system results in a burst pipe, which can quickly wreak havoc on your home.</p><h2>How To Prevent Frozen Pipes This Winter</h2><p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/p/AF1QipNHmDnen_LD_z28jBl8TdujiOKXeoLWVQcmbNJD=w573-h573-p-no"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://press-releases-production.s3.amazonaws.com/images/Tf8xKp5avagFgmicSvN4nV47IhsaQmeIH017PfG0.jpg" alt="Shoveling snow on a cold winter day" width="450" height="300" /></a>When winter arrives, it's important to protect pipes from this common plumbing disaster. The following tips can help you keep your water pipes strong and functional.</p><h3>Insulate Exposed Pipes</h3><p>Water pipes can freeze due to poor insulation. Covering them with a protective foam material will keep the pipe warm enough to avoid expanding and bursting. The pipes underneath your sinks may not be the same temperature as the rest of your house, so you can also open the cabinets to expose them to warmer air.</p><h3>Drain Water Sources Outside Your Home</h3><p>Outdoor frozen pipes can pass through exterior walls and impact your indoor plumbing systems as well. You must shut off and drain the water supply to all exterior water sources. This includes:</p><ul><li><p>Swimming pool supply lines</p></li><li><p>Garden hose spigots</p></li><li><p>Outdoor water fountains</p></li></ul><p>Shut off your outside water supply and drain all of the water from these fixtures before the first freeze of the season.</p><h3>Maintain Your Home's Heat</h3><p>Pipes freeze when the temperature drops below a certain number.

Prolonged temperatures below this mark can result in significant damage to your pipes.</p><p>Experts recommend keeping your heat on even if you're going away for an extended period as a precaution. Doing so means you won't be returning home to a huge mess because a frozen pipe has burst.</p><h2>Navigating Frozen Pipe Repair</h2><p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/p/AF1QipPwhOF70aY1qVL1lk4UeG8s-YMa6RXmFaChYzv4=w573-h573-p-no"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://press-releases-production.s3.amazonaws.com/images/5DJj6tK3eWTQM6mmOvRzRnJ54BPyT4gi8hMp6RO7.jpg" alt="Leaking Pipe frozen over" width="450" height="322" /></a>To fix frozen pipes, professional plumbers follow a specific checklist. The first step is to locate the frozen pipe and assess the damage. It could have small cracks in it, so plumbers must prepare the space for leaks when they thaw pipes.</p><p>It's important to warm up the pipes using heated items that don't produce extreme temperatures or flames since this can damage the plumbing system. Instead, experts recommend wrapping the pipes in warm towels or using a space heater. The flow of water should be at normal pressure as the pipes thaw, and you should patch any detected <a href="https://www.rotorootertn.com/leak-repair/?utm_source=signalgenesys&amp;utm_medium=newsarticles&amp;utm_campaign=december&amp;utm_term=leak+repair&amp;utm_content=textlink">leaks</a> immediately.</p><h2>Contact Local Experts To Fix Frozen Pipes</h2><p>Now that you know the dangers of <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.rotorootertn.com/frozen-pipe-repair/?utm_source=signalgenesys&amp;utm_medium=newsarticles&amp;utm_campaign=december&amp;utm_term=frozen+pipes&amp;utm_content=textlink">frozen pipes</a> and how to prevent them, you can apply these tips to your home this winter.
