With winter comes frozen pipes, and there are steps that you can take in your home to avoid running into a plumbing emergency. At Plumbing Emergency Rescue, we know what Long Island area winters can do to pipes, and we want to help all of our fellow area residents to save themselves from the catastrophe associated with a pipe’s bursting.

When a pipe freezes, it becomes susceptible to bursting, and a burst pipe is a pipe that can damage a great deal in your home. One common culprit for frozen pipes is the piping that leads outside of your home, as these pipes will be exposed to the raw and frigid winds of winter without much protection. On outside faucets, make sure you disconnect any hoses that may be attached, and this will allow you to do away with any water that may still be exposed within the pipe or spigot. Once hoses are unattached, we also recommend covering these faucets to provide a little bit of insulation from the harsh temperatures. Continue reading →
