  • We have all been there—unexpected cold snaps that have come too early. While many are already used to having record-breaking snowfall in the spring, it’s not unusual for winter to start during autumn.

    If your drain and supply lines suffer from frost, water will expand and create blockages that will restrict adequate water flow. As a result, tremendous pressure will trigger a pipe burst. When cold weather kicks in, and you notice a sudden change of water pressure, do not force your faucet or shower, but inspect your supply lines first. Chances are that you have frozen pipes.

    Calgary frozen pipe repair services are most common when temperatures go below freezing because many local residents haven’t had the opportunity yet to prepare their plumbing for the winter. During the fall, winterization is often the last thing everyone has in mind, even during cooler days.

    As for your outdoor living space, you have likely disconnected your garden hose and covered up your patio, but what else did you forget? Hopefully, you have cleaned your gutters, ensuring your exterior drainage system, downspout pipes included, is not clogged with leaves and debris.

    Having reduced the risk of ice dams, there is another detail that you have missed—your hose bib, also known as the outdoor faucet or spigot. As an outdoor water supply unit, it’s essential to drain it and insulate it during the winter months. Ideally, you turn off the shut-off valves of any plumbing fixture that you won’t use, especially if they are in a non- or partially heated space, such as an unfurnished basement where most homeowners get frozen pipes.

    Most Calgary plumbers have a list of recommendations that will help you maintain your plumbing during the winter. For example, waterproofing your basement will help stop water from seeping through the concrete or install additional ventilation systems to keep the air dry. Your sewer line is also prone to freezing for the same reasons as your water line. Insufficient insulation will eventually call for Calgary frozen pipe repairs.

Mr. Rooter Plumbing’s Frozen Pipe Repairs

When hiring your local plumbers for frozen pipe repairs, you can expect us to treat it as a plumbing emergency. These incidents tend to happen overnight when it is the coldest, and you might notice the warning signs first thing in the morning before washing your face or filling your kettle. Is water either trickling off the spout or you can’t flush the toilet because the tank isn’t filling up? To reduce the risk of water damage and costly repairs, you need to address this issue immediately.

The key is to add heat to the affected pipes and thaw them as quickly as possible. If you notice bulging pipes, call Mr. Rooter’s emergency plumbing services. Prior to our arrival, we will suggest that you turn off your water supply and take measures to safely thaw your water pipes as much as possible.

Upon arrival, your plumber may use heating devices to thaw your pipes. They will also run a detailed plumbing diagnosis to check for burst pipes with leak detection devices. Burst pipe repairs are common in the event of frozen pipes. Calgary plumbers complete multiple water line repairs in the winter due to water main breaks.

If you are lucky and no repairs are needed, we may recommend pipe insulation service and also give you tips on DIY insulation jobs, so you won’t have to worry about emergency frozen pipe repairs again.
