Tips for Reducing Frozen and Bursting Pipes

Putman and Sons water leak frozen pipes

Tis the season for frozen pipes. When the temperature dives and the winds pick up is when we receive the most calls from unprepared and frantic homeowners. There is nothing worse than coming home to a burst pipe and the mess and cost of water damage to your home and possessions. Luckily, there are things that homeowners can do to help reduce this occurrence to happening to them.

  • Keep faucets at a slow drip during the freezing cold weather
  • Insulate pipes and connections
  • Heat your home to 68 degrees
  • Turn the water valve off if you are leaving on a vacation

If you do have an issue with frozen pipes, Putman & Son’s Plumbing is here to help 24/7, contact us.

Plan for Weekend Flooding

Putman and Sons Plumbing Flood Warning

Depending where you live in Michigan, weather forecasters are warning of dangerous ice, combined with flooding rains and even snow! That means there is a potential flood risk for many of our customers.

Be prepared and limit damage to your home in the winter months when leaks and water damage from frozen pipes are at the highest levels.

Know where all the water shutoff valves are in your home and how to switch them off. This includes:

  • whole-house water shutoff
  • hot water shutoff on the water heater
  • inline shutoffs to the sinks and toilets
  • shutoff valve to the washing machine
  • shutoff valve to the dishwasher

If you have flooding due to a sewer backup, water leaks, or frozen pipes, contact Putman & Son’s Plumbing 24/7 hotline for help.

Weather Changes Effect Plumbing Systems

When the temperature drops below freezing, the risk of pipes becoming frozen and bursting increases. Whether your pipes are steel, copper or plastic, they can endure cracks which can be catastrophic to your home or business. Fall and Spring can be particularly harrowing because of temperature swings, dipping before the freezing mark and then warming up again. Freezing and thawing of pipes can create leaks and ruptures. If you need an inspection, contact Putman & Son’s certified plumbers. Being proactive, can save a lot of aggravation.

 

Flushable Wipes Are Not Flushable

Putman and Sons Plumbing Flushable Wipes

We know this sounds counterintuitive but it is best not to throw flushable wipes down the toilet. They do not dissolve properly and can clog up your toilet in the same way cotton balls, cotton pads and cotton swabs will.
