How Can I Prevent My Pipes from Freezing in Ottawa's Extreme Cold?
As a homeowner, protecting your pipes from freezing during Ottawa's icy winter months is essential to avoid costly breakdowns. Taking the appropriate precautionary measures can safeguard your plumbing system and prevent potential water damage.
You can prevent burst or frozen pipes by doing the following:
- Allow faucets to drip slightly to keep water moving
- Open cabinet doors under sinks to allow warm air to circulate
- Insulate pipes in unheated areas, such as basements and garages
- Keep your thermostat set to a consistent temperature, even when you’re not home
- Seal any cracks or openings around windows and doors to minimize drafts
- Regularly check your plumbing system for vulnerabilities by scheduling regular maintenance tune-ups
- Consider using heat tape or heat cables for added protection
- Install a shut-off valve for exterior pipes to avoid freezing external water sources
How Often Should I Have My Plumbing Inspected in Ottawa?
As a homeowner, scheduling regular maintenance is essential to maintain a well-functioning plumbing system. Investing in regular tune-ups can not only save you time and money on unexpected breakdowns but can also lower your monthly energy bills by keeping your plumbing operating efficiently.
As a general rule of thumb, it’s best to have your plumbing system professionally inspected at least once a year. For properties with heavier usage, more frequent inspections may be necessary to keep your plumbing system performing optimally and avoid burst or frozen pipes.
