Frozen pipes are some of the widespread concerns during winter. As the air outside gets colder, pipes freeze and water in the interior spaces turns to ice, forcing pressure downstream between the ice blockage and your faucets. This can result in bursts and heavy flooding, causing massive damages to your property. However, there are various things you can do to combat frozen pipes during winter.

We have put together some of the best practices to implement before winter starts and how to defrost pipes in Tacoma. If your pipes burst, we recommend calling an emergency plumber like us to prevent further damage to the property!

Keep Temperatures Above 20 Degrees Fahrenheit

According to a study by the University of Illinois Building Research Council, the minimum temperature below which pipes freeze is 20 degrees Fahrenheit. However, there are incidences where pipes can freeze above this threshold, especially when parts are exposed to the cold outside air. Nonetheless, it is recommended to ensure your pipes aren't exposed to temperatures approaching the 20 degrees threshold.

Insulation prevents heat exchange between surfaces. You can choose from fiberglass, polyethylene, and foam insulations, which are inexpensive compared to the cost of repairing pipe bursts. Insulating your pipes will help prevent heat exchange, allowing you to maintain a consistent temperature within your pipes. You should finish insulation before the winter starts and make sure all cracks and crawl spaces are sealed. You can then apply electrical heating tape around your pipes. It will help you heat the pipes and keep them above freezing temperatures.

Maintain a Consistent Temperature in Your Home

The goal is to prevent heat exchange, so cold air doesn't get in, and heat isn't lost. You should make sure the thermostat is consistent, the garage door is closed, and interior doors and cabinets are open to allow free air distribution inside the house. As a rule of thumb, the temperature should be at least 55 degrees Fahrenheit when leaving home. High indoor temperatures play a significant role in preventing pipes from freezing and bursting, especially when combined with electrical heating tapes.

Moving water experiences friction between the water and the internal surface of the pipes, producing a small amount of heat, yet significant enough to keep your pipes from freezing. Running water is harder to freeze than still water, so leaving a few faucets dripping can prevent ice blockages. The trickling also relieves pressure that has built up inside the pipes. You can target faucets fed by pipes exposed to harsher conditions and cold air. Make sure you use a pipe to divert and conserve the water leaking from open faucets.

Preparing for winter and combating challenges during the cold season is crucial to keeping your home functional, safe, and comfortable. Harts Services is customer-centric and focuses on meeting the unique needs of each customer. We offer full-house plumbing and emergency plumbing services Tacoma, WA, residents can trust to keep your pipes safe throughout all seasons, including winter. Contact us today to find out more!

How to Combat Frozen Pipes This Winter

A clogged drain is an all too common problem in homes that can happen due to a variety of reasons. Clogged drains are always frustrating and can create a big mess. Reaching out to a company that offers clogged drain repair in Tacoma, WA, is always a great option to make sure the job is done right and without any shortcuts!

Here are a few of the most common signs that your home's drains are clogged.

Slow drainage is a frequent problem in a tub, sink, or shower. Many times the buildup of hair and soap scum is the source of the clog. Pouring hot water down a drain can be effective at preventing clogs within a drain. However, you should avoid using chemical drain cleaners, as they can damage your plumbing and are not good for the environment.

Another common sign of a clogged drain is a toilet that's not flushing. Too much toilet paper or even a kid's toy can cause your toilet to be backed up. You will need to stop the flow of water by opening the tank and closing the flapper. The next step is to plunge the toilet until you remove the clog. However, you may need to contact a plumber if you are unable to do it on your own.

You may hear gurgling sounds if your drain is clogged. These loud noises happen due to air being trapped inside of your pipes. Reaching out to a plumber is essential to identify the source of the clog, whether it is a problem with your main sewer line or if it is a clogged vent stack.

A smelly drain is another common sign of a clogged drain. Many times the source of these bad smells in a kitchen sink is due to clogged food particles. However, the foul smell may also be a dead rodent that tried to access your home through the plumbing. Reaching out to a local plumber is important to take care of this problem as soon as possible.
