Monday, February 3rd, 2025Burst Pipe Tips: Protect Your Pipes From Freezing Temperatures
Monday, January 27th, 2025Frozen pipes are a serious concern, especially in our neck of the woods. As temperatures dip down for long periods of time, the water in our pipes becomes susceptible to freezing which leads to expansion. This phenomenon occurs when water transitions to ice, causing it to expand outwards and even break solid boundaries like pipes or bottles.
The tricky part with frozen pipes comes after they thaw, when they eventually start to melt and leak everywhere through the areas where the pipes broke. This can sometimes be a catastrophic situation that requires immediate attention from a professional.
In our opinion, the best solution is prevention, so we’re going to discuss some ways to prevent burst pipes from occurring. But for your burst pipe repair in Bellingham, trust our team to get them fixed up.
