Buildings are not immune from Ohio’s sometime frigid temperatures. A General Manager for a local facilities maintenance services company,
says calls to fix frozen pipes go up when the thermometer mercury falls.
Frozen pipes can break, causing major damage and expense. If water from a faucet isn’t working, first check all faucets to isolate where the
frozen pipe may be. If none of the faucets work, the problem may be with your meter rather than a frozen pipe. The frozen section of a pipe
may be frosted or have ice on it; a bulging pipe is close to breaking and should be taken care of immediately. PLEASE CALL THE 1-800
NUMBER GIVEN AT LEASE SIGNING IMMEDIATELY WITH ANY INFORMATION YOU HAVE.
Treating Frozen Pipes
According to local experts there are some basic steps to take to treat frozen pipes including:
* Turn off the main water valve to help relieve pressure when the pipe thaws
* Open faucets so steam can escape during thawing
* Use a hairdryer on the frozen area of pipe until full water pressure is restored
* Be patient! PLEASE CALL THE 1-800 NUMBER GIVEN AT LEASE SIGNING IMMEDIATELY AND OUR SERVICE TECH WILL PERFORM
THE ABOVE STEPS.
Preventing Frozen Pipes
Local Experts recommend prevention before the cold weather hits but doing what you can now, will help. Here are key tips to prevent
frozen pipes:
* Insulate outer walls and pipes
* Eliminate drafts – close windows, close storm windows, repair broken or cracked windows
* Open cabinet doors (under the sink) to allow warmth from room to reach pipes
* Check that your Furnace is working properly
* Check that all outside water is turned off (No Garden Hoses attached !)
If frozen pipes can’t be accessed, it’s time to bring in a professional by calling the 1-800 Emergency Service Number Provided. And, if you
continue to have frozen pipes, you may need to take additional measures to insure that pipes are kept warm.
