Conquering the cold and frozen pipes of winter.
Even though winters have been fairly mild in Ontario recently, there’s always some harsh winter conditions across the season that can cause problems. With the beauty of fluffy snow comes the potential for a plumbing nightmare – frozen pipes. These frozen foes can burst, causing costly repairs and water damage. But fear not, fellow Southern Ontarians! Blue Water Plumbing & Mechanical is here to help you fix and also avoid, seasonal plumbing problems while keeping your water flowing freely all winter long.
Why do pipes freeze?
When water freezes, it expands. This expansion can put immense pressure on your pipes, causing them to crack or burst. Here in Canada, the culprit is usually:
- Frigid Temperatures: When outdoor temperatures plummet, especially below freezing for extended periods, pipes exposed to the cold are at risk.
- Drafty Areas: Pipes located in crawlspaces, attics, or exterior walls are more susceptible to freezing if these areas aren’t properly insulated.
- Insufficient Water Flow: Stagnant water in pipes is more likely to freeze compared to consistently flowing water.
