Frozen Pipes: How Early Detection Prevents Costly Winter Damage
Winter temperatures pose a serious risk to a building’s water system. When temperatures drop too low, water inside pipes can freeze solid. As the ice expands, it puts pressure on the pipe walls. Over time, this pressure can crack the pipe or create small fractures that go unnoticed until the ice melts and water begins to leak.
The challenge lies in detecting the problem before it’s too late. By the time faucet water pressure drops or water is discovered flooding through floors and walls, the damage has already been done. Hidden leaks from these cracks can waste thousands of gallons of water, significantly increasing water bills before anyone realizes there’s an issue.
