Frequently Asked Questions About Frozen Pipe Repair in Columbus
The reason pipes freeze is usually improper insulation. This happens especially with water lines running across the garage or near outside walls. If you leave the garage door open in the wintertime, the garage gets very cold, and the lines freeze up.
You’ll notice you don’t have water to your sink or other fixtures. By checking which fixtures are affected, we can start determining the source of the problem, like if the pipe is running on an outside wall or above a cold area.
Yes, by opening your cabinet door and turning up the heat, pipes can thaw in a few hours. But always know where your main water shut off is because once those pipes start to unthaw, they may have burst but they won’t leak until they start thawing.
If the pipe is broken, you’re going to get water everywhere. Your water is going to run until somebody shuts it off. Immediately turn off your main water supply and contact us for frozen burst pipe repair in Columbus.
We do not recommend that. Drain cleaning liquids can eat right through older metal pipes. For thawing, turning up your thermostat and opening cabinets is safer, but professional assistance is recommended to prevent damage.
