Prevent Frozen Pipes: Expert Advice from Hayward Plumbers

As the temperature drops, the risk of frozen pipes increases. At Plumbing Repair Hayward, our team of expert plumbers has seen firsthand the damage that frozen pipes can cause. In this post, we'll share our top tips for preventing frozen pipes and what to do if you suspect a pipe has frozen.

Why Frozen Pipes are a Concern

Frozen pipes can lead to costly repairs and even cause water damage to your home. When water freezes, it expands, putting pressure on the pipe. If the pipe bursts, you could be facing a costly repair bill. Our Water Leak Emergency Repair service can help you fix the issue quickly and efficiently.

Signs of a Frozen Pipe

If you suspect a pipe has frozen, look out for these signs:

• No water coming out of the faucet
• Clanking or banging sounds coming from the pipes
• Visible signs of frost or ice on the pipe

Prevention Tips

Preventing frozen pipes is easier than you think. Here are some tips to get you started:

• Insulate exposed pipes in unheated areas like the garage or basement
• Let cold water drip from the faucet served by exposed pipes
• Open cabinet doors to allow warm air to circulate around pipes
