Frozen pipes can cause unprecedented damage to peoples home, due to the threat of bursting, followed by water damage. They are one of the biggest causes for home insurance claims and are even more of a threat when the weather takes people by surprise like its expected to this week. Homeowners can take action to protect themselves however, through making sure their lofts, as well as the pipes themselves are insulated.

Those who are planning to go away for a few days, should consider contacting a friend or neighbour and asking them to pop in occasionally to check their pipes have not frozen. If it is discovered that pipes have frozen, the most important thing to do is to turn off the water supply as soon as possible. The next step should be to protect everything in the immediate vicinity, cover with towels, and gently thaw the ice. At this point the main priority should be to call a team of fully trained emergency plumbers such as those provided by Emergency Plumber and let them tackle the issue.

The team at Emergency Plumber are committed to providing safety advice regarding the services they offer.
