J. Blanton Plumbing Shares Expert Advice to Help Homeowners Protect Their Plumbing Systems This Winter
NORTHBROOK, IL, UNITED STATES, December 4, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As Chicagoland braces for freezing temperatures, J. Blanton Plumbing is offering homeowners a comprehensive winter plumbing checklist to help prevent frozen pipes and costly plumbing emergencies. By taking proactive steps, homeowners can avoid the inconvenience and expense of frozen pipe repair and ensure their plumbing systems remain functional throughout the winter months.The Dangers of Frozen Pipes
Frozen pipes are a common issue during Chicago’s harsh winters. When water inside pipes freezes, it expands, often causing the pipe to crack or burst. This can lead to significant water damage and expensive repairs. J. Blanton Plumbing emphasizes the importance of plumbing maintenance and preparation to minimize these risks.
Top Tips to Prevent Frozen Pipes
1. Insulate Exposed Pipes: Use pipe insulation or heat tape to protect pipes in unheated areas such as basements, attics, and crawl spaces.
2. Keep Water Flowing: Allow a small trickle of water to flow from faucets during extremely cold temperatures to prevent freezing.
3. Seal Drafts: Check for drafts near pipes and seal any gaps in windows, doors, or walls to keep cold air out.
4. Maintain a Consistent Temperature: Keep the thermostat set to a consistent temperature, even when away from home, to prevent pipes from freezing.
5. Schedule Plumbing Maintenance: Regular inspections by a professional plumber can identify and address potential vulnerabilities before temperatures drop.
