Possible Signs of Frozen Pipes

The plummeting temperatures of winter months create a unique plumbing problem – frozen pipes. Though frozen water pipes are more common, you may even have frozen drain pipes. Slow-moving drainpipes tend to hold water and so might result in frozen pipes when it gets extremely cold.

As a property owner, you should know how to detect frozen water pipes, understand the risks from frozen water pipes and recognize the urgency for thawing frozen pipes. Frozen water pipes are generally located along the building’s exterior walls, but frozen pipes may also be found in attics and basements. There are a few signs that can make you aware of frozen water pipes on your property. These include:

• Accumulation of frost on the pipes
• Getting just a trickle of water on turning a faucet on
• Getting no running water at all from the faucet

Once you realize you have frozen water pipes, call Hagee Plumbing immediately for thawing frozen pipes.
