What you get from Bonfe:
If you notice any of the following signs with your home’s pipes, contact the pros at Bonfe Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, Electrical, & Sewer immediately so as to avoid potential disaster. Signs that your pipes are frozen and could potentially burst very soon include:
One of the biggest indicators that your pipes are likely frozen is a total lack of water flowing from any of your faucets, toilets, fixtures, showers, tubs, etc. When this happens, it usually means that the water in your supply pipes has frozen solid. If you notice minimal water coming from your plumbing fixtures while in the dead of Twin Cities Metro winter, you most likely have a partial freeze, which is still extremely dangerous and needs to be dealt with by professionals at Bonfe Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, Electrical, & Sewer right away.
A major red flag when it comes to frozen pipes is if you notice spots or signs of water damage around your home. This could indicate that part of your pipes has already actually burst and is leaking in your home. Water damage is a red flag for imminent danger and inevitable flooding from a burst pipe in the very near future, and needs to be addressed by Bonfe Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, Electrical, & Sewer immediately.
If your home has exposed pipes in any area of the property, always keep an eye on them during the Twin Cities Metro winter season. Through a visual inspection, you should be able to see if there is any frost that is building up on your water supply lines. If you do see frost building up on your pipes, you need to have Bonfe Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, Electrical, & Sewer address the issue as soon as possible before the pipes end up bursting and totally damaging your home.
Have you noticed an unfamiliar, foul odor coming from your drains? This could very well be due to blockages in your plumbing system from frozen water in your pipes. In the event you notice foreign odors coming from even just one of your drains while it is cold outside, you should call Bonfe Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, Electrical, & Sewer to have your pipes looked at, at the very least.
The average amount of time it takes for pipes to freeze and burst without a heating source is about four to five hours in temperatures of 20 degrees Fahrenheit or below.
How long it will take to repair a burst pipe will depend on the extent of the damage. It can take several hours to several days depending on many different factors including the size, the location, the amount of damage, material, and age of the pipe(s).
What happens when a pipe bursts in your house is likely damage to your walls, floors, ceilings, belongings, and possibly even severe flooding. Pipe bursts happen for a variety of reasons including freezing cold temperatures, damage to the pipes or too much pressure on them.
There are several causes as to why a pipe may burst. Pipe bursts are a common problem in cold weather climates because water freezing and expanding within the pipe can cause it to burst. Many people actually don’t realize a pipe burst can actually happen at any time of the year, even in the summer. Other potential causes are rusty pipes, hard water, and bad installation. Worn out and weakened pipes have a high risk of bursting because they lose their ability to withstand the pressure from the water. If you notice stains on any of your walls, discolored water, and/or lower water pressure, these are all warning signs that your pipes could burst soon.
Yes, a plumber can fix frozen pipes. If the pipes are frozen but have not yet burst, a plumber can remedy them by applying a heat gun to thaw them.
