When temperatures drop, frozen pipes can lead to major headaches (and expensive repairs). M&E Plumbing is here to help you keep things flowing smoothly all winter long.
If Pipes Freeze:
- Turn Off the Water: Prevent flooding by shutting off the main water supply.
- Thaw Slowly: Use a hairdryer or space heater to thaw pipes safely.
- Check for Leaks: Inspect for damage after thawing.
- Call Us: If you can’t locate the freeze—or it’s too risky—call a pro at M&E Plumbing.
Prevention Tips:
- Insulate Pipes: Add foam insulation to exposed pipes.
- Keep the Heat On: Set your thermostat to at least 55°F (13°C), even when away.
- Let Faucets Drip: Running water helps prevent freezing.
- Seal Cracks: Caulk around windows and doors to stop drafts.
- Open Cabinet Doors: Let warm air circulate around sink pipes.
Stay warm and worry-free this winter—M&E Plumbing has you covered!
