Thaw Your Frozen Pipes Using These Tips Though thawing a frozen water pipe is important, but it is more important to thaw the frozen water pipe using a proper manner and technique. If you are not sure of how to do this, the following steps would help you sidestep a burst pipe and resulting in a flood at your property. Tips for thawing a frozen pipe – Locate the frozen pipe First of all, you have to locate the pipe which is frozen. For this, the faucet must be turned on. Therefore, turn on the faucets in your property to check if there is water trickling or coming out of the pipe. If you experience no such thing, then the pipe that leads to the faucet is likely to have frozen. Please note that one frozen pipe can also affect others. Normal condition of a frozen pipe is that there is crust of frost on it or it may have a slight bulge too. It would be easier for you to thaw the frozen pipe, if you could just locate the blockage in part of the pipe you can access to. Open the faucet Faucet is an exposed plumbing fitting or spigot, controlling the flow of water from a reservoir. There are two types of handles; hot and cold ones. You should open both of them to depressurize the system, thus allowing passage of the water once you start to thaw the pipe. Where to start with thawing process Start from near the faucet in order to let melting ice and steam pass through the open faucet. Do not start from the blockage, for it may prevent passage of the melting ice and steam. It may put more pressure on the pipe due to the blockage, thus increasing the chance of it to burst. Do not do this If you intend to use an open flame, thinking it would just melt the frozen frost on the pipe, you are wrong. Doing so would invite the chance of your pipe getting damaged. Further, an untoward result of starting a fire at your property could also be a strong likelihood. We are expert service provider of Frozen Pipes Houston and Plumber Houston, TX.
