Having plumbing problems in Toronto never comes at a convenient time. However, for most of us, they often arrive at the absolute worst time imaginable. Oftentimes these issues arise during the time that the seasons are placing a great deal of stress on the pipes underneath our homes.
From extra activity in the home to changing temperatures, oftentimes it leads to more problems than our plumbing is able to handle. The seasonal plumbing issues are often because of the cold temperatures and the more frequent usage of your plumbing.
Fix your problems now
Remember that you do not want to wait too long before fixing a problem. If you wait too long with a small problem, it could turn into a big one. Leaky faucets in the bathroom or kitchen can be a sign of something more serious. If your drains are already having problems, chances are that the seasonal changes are going to take their toll.
Do not allow your pipes to freeze
One of the biggest problems in the winter is a frozen pipe. In addition to waking up and not having any water available, it is also possible that a frozen pipe is going to burst. This can lead to massive leaks that might cause structural damage or destroy your possessions.
To avoid these costly leaks, make sure that you insulate your pipes. You can buy foam tubes at most hardware stores, which have a slot on one side to fit over the pipes. It is important that you do this correctly, and if you are unsure, it is better to let a qualified professional handle it for you.
If you are away – turn off the water
If you plan to get away for more than a few days, make sure that you turn off the water in the home while you are gone. This ensures that you are not going to come back to a massive leakage. After turning off the water, make sure to drain your pipes. This ensures that if temperatures drop below freezing, you will not have frozen water in your pipes.
Prevent instead of fixing
If you want to make sure that you avoid these seasonal plumbing issues in Toronto, we recommend regularly using Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing Services for your plumbing maintenance needs. That way, you are able to prevent problems rather than having to fix them.
