Servicing Frozen Pipes

A water pipe freezes when it is exposed to temperatures below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s important to act fast to avoid major damage. Ice can block the pipe and expand. The pressure in the pipe can increase and cause a pipe to burst. Pipes that run along exterior walls, like hose spigots, are more at risk. Call Atlas Butler to get a professional to help protect your home from plumbing issues.

How to Prevent Pipes from Freezing

• Locate and seal cracks and openings in the walls, attic, basement, or crawl spaces.
• Weather strip and caulk around crawl space doors and basement windows.
• Insulate unprotected pipes. You can use pipe wrap insulation or tubular pipe insulation.
• Shut off water to exterior hoses and detach the hose.
