If you notice any of the following signs with your home’s pipes, contact our pros immediately to avoid potential disaster! Signs that your pipes are frozen and could potentially burst include:
One of the biggest indicators that your pipes are likely frozen is a total lack of water flowing from any of your faucets, toilets, fixtures, showers, tubs, etc. When this happens, it usually means that the water in your supply pipes has frozen solid. If you notice minimal water coming from your plumbing fixtures while in the dead of winter, you most likely have a partial freeze. This is still extremely dangerous and must be dealt with by our professionals right away.
A major red flag when it comes to frozen pipes is if you notice spots or signs of water damage around your home. This could indicate that part of your pipes have already burst and are leaking in your home. Water damage is a red flag for imminent danger and inevitable flooding from a burst pipe, and needs to be addressed immediately.
If your home has exposed pipes in any area of the property, always keep an eye on them during the Central PA winter season. Through a visual inspection, you should be able to see if there is any frost that is building up on your water supply lines. If you do see frost building up on your pipes, you need to address the issue as soon as possible before the pipes end up bursting and completely damaging your home.
Have you noticed an unfamiliar, foul odor coming from your drains? This could very well be due to blockages in your plumbing system from frozen water in your pipes. In the event you notice foreign odors coming from even just one of your drains while it is cold outside, you should call 717-470-8201 to have your pipes inspected at the very least.
