Frozen Pipelines. Problems and solution.

Pipelines form the base of any household. You cannot do without water connection in your house. At the same time, you cannot pull water from one source yourself and dispose the used water later on. It needs to be done with the help of pipelines. A series of well connected pipelines help in the efficient working of your household on a day to day basis. However, people who stay in cold regions that experience temperature falls now and then would have come across something called frozen pipes.

What are frozen pipes?

When you stay in a cold area, the water moving through the pipes might freeze at times. This causes a blockage in the entire system and there is a stop in the flow of water. This can, however, be solved with the help of plumbers. 1Best Plumber Encino helps in repairing frozen pipes. Let us take a look at the steps followed by them.

• Figure out the exact area: you can only understand that your pipeline is frozen when there is a blockage of water flow. The plumber needs to figure out the exact area of blockage. If there is no water supply in the upper portion of the house, it means that the pipeline connecting the lower and the upper portion of the house has a frozen pipe. If there is no water supply at all, it means that the main pipe that supplies water has frozen. The plumber can make out by touching the pipelines. The frozen area is generally colder compared to the other regions.
• Heat up the pipe: The plumber then tries to make that frozen area warm to melt the ice. This doesn’t mean he uses a flame directly as that might cause a burst. He takes a cloth dipped in hot water and wraps around the frozen area. This helps in melting the ice.
• Check if the water supply is back: once all of it is done, the plumber checks if the water supply is back. If it is back, well and good. If it is not, that means that there are other frozen parts too. This calls for melting ice in those regions.
