There are steps you can take in order to prevent your pipes from freezing or to thaw them if they have frozen
The freezing cold weather of recent weeks has brought much inconvenience. Road and railway networks have been disrupted by the snow and ice, while households have faced increased heating costs at a time when energy prices are going through the roof.
However, there are steps you can take in order to prevent your pipes from freezing or to thaw them if they have frozen. Let’s take a closer look at what you can do.How to stop pipes freezing in winter One of the most effective ways to stop pipes from freezing in winter is to insulate them. Wrapping pipes in cold areas of the home, such as with pipe lagging can insulate them and reduce the risk of freezing.
SSE recommends that homeowners should leave their heating on with the thermostat set at 12-15C when they’re away from the property, to keep air inside and prevent internal pipes from freezing. What to do if your pipes freeze SSE recommends that you turn the stopcock off and contact a qualified plumber if your pipes have burst. If your pipes have only frozen, however, there are things you can do to thaw them - but if you’re not confident in what you’re doing, it is wise to ask a plumber instead.
