Winter Plumbing Problems And Solutions

16/9/2019

Can plumbing go on an outside wall? Yes, it can. However, during the cold months, some plumbing problems happen. Winter temperature can badly affect the exposed pipelines and mechanisms of a plumbing system. The plumbing problems may lead to expensive plumbing repairs. 

This can be avoided with preventive maintenance of the system of your house. You will have to know the parts that are most affected and how you can avoid such a condition. Here are some of the common plumbing problems during winters:
​
  • Pipelines that run along the outside walls of a house are exposed to the freezing temperature during winters. The pipes freeze and crack. If neglected for a long time, they can even burst, leading to a complete breakdown of the entire system. Space heaters of your house can help prevent the pipelines from getting frozen and cracked. Alternatively, you can use anti-freeze and non-toxic solutions and chemicals available in the market to defrost the pipelines. However, it is best to contact an experienced plumber for regular preventive maintenance to avoid such a problem.
 
  • Another problem that is commonly faced by homeowners is related to faulty water heaters. Winter is the time when such appliances are used extensively. However, there can be problems like sediment deposits, blown pilot pipes, frozen pipelines, and malfunctioning parts, which prevent the water from getting heated. This can cause a lot of inconveniences to homeowners. Get your water heater serviced by a plumber before it's wintertime. This will prevent a sudden breakdown of the appliances during the cold months. With timely repairs and regular servicing, you can ensure the proper functioning of the appliances when you need to use them the most.
 
  • Sometimes, pipelines attached to the septic tanks of a house become frozen or get clogged with debris. As a result, homeowners may experience a foul smell around their house. Septic tanks may also get overloaded with waste, which is not only aesthetically unpleasant but, is also unhealthy. Contact plumbing professionals to get your septic tank pumped out before it is winter. This will prevent any emergency backups.
