Even well-protected pipes can end up freezing during cold weather, especially if the system isn’t used while the weather initially plunges. It is important to let any pipes that you are concerned about run for some time so that water is not given a chance to stagnate and freeze, particularly externally exposed pipes.
Thawing frozen pipes properly is key to maintaining the entire system during winter. Often the methods used by homeowners to try and thaw their pipes is incorrect. These can be dangerous to yourself and others within your home, and it can damage the pipes leading to other major impacts on your plumbing system. Home remedies including torches and other fire sources are not to be used when addressing these issues.

When attempting frozen pipe thawing, it’s best to call on plumbing experts who are experienced in dealing with the changing weather that the Greater Toronto Area experiences. This way, instead of creating a huge problem attempting to melt ice on your own, experts ensure that your system is repaired properly.

Burst or Blocked Pipe? Call Now

A burst or blocked pipe is a common consequence of the water flowing through them freezing. Frozen water in the pipes that starts melting due to a rise in temperature can burst because of the pressure of the water that gets between the ice in the pipe and the closed faucet. If your drain is fully blocked, you might need advanced unclogging tools to get rid of the problem.

FAQs

If the outside temperature is below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, it’s essential to take steps to prevent pipes in your household from freezing. Common signs of a frozen pipe include frost on the pipe, a strange smell coming from a drain or faucet, or no water running out of the faucet.

No, a frozen pipe won’t necessarily burst. The ice increases the risk once it starts to thaw, as it raises water pressure further. In the end, this can cause the pipes to burst.

Bursting is more common towards the end of winter or during springtime. Whether or not the pipe will burst under pressure also depends on its age and quality.

The most important thing to do once you’re aware of a frozen pipe is to contact professional pipe thawing services. Depending on the pipe’s position and your expertise level, you can try to thaw the pipe yourself. But unless you know exactly what you’re doing, it’s best to leave it to the pros.
The answer to this question depends on your insurance policy. In general, they should, but some policies exclude this type of damage. If you have one of the lowest-priced policies, chances are this service won’t be covered. However, regardless of your policy, contact MT Drain to address the problem as soon as possible.

Really happy with the service from Mirza Grease Trap Services. What I liked most was how easy they were to deal with.
