How to Prevent a Burst Pipe
A common plumbing emergency is a burst pipe. With Warhold Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning, you are covered with our emergency plumbing services; however, a burst pipe repair is still an unwanted expense and can cause serious damage to your home. The most common cause for a burst pipe is water freezing inside the pipes. When water freezes, it expands, putting a lot of pressure on the inside walls of the pipe. Over time, that pressure will build and when the pipe can no longer handle it. It will burst.
The best way to prevent this from happening is by placing easy-to-install pipe insulation on your pipes. This insulation slips over the pipes and can be purchased inexpensively at almost any hardware store. Placing this insulation on any of your pipes that are exposed to cold air will help prevent the pipes from bursting.
Common Sump Pump Issues
As a homeowner, you rely heavily on your sump pump to pump excess water away from the foundation of your home and prevent flooding. If your sump pump is malfunctioning or not working correctly, you may be at risk of water damage in your basement or cellar. Some of the most common sump pump problems we see include:
Seized Units
If your pump is only used in emergency situations, it may seize over time. Try dumping a bucket of water in the tank to see if the motor is triggered. If nothing happens, you should call a professional to ensure your home is covered.
Battery Backups
Many sump pumps are used in times of emergency when the power could have gone out. If your sump pump does not have a battery backup, you may be at risk of flooding. Make sure you have a working battery backup.
Incorrectly Sized Units
When the experts at Warhold Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning install a sump pump, we ensure the unit is properly sized for the job you need it to do. If the pump is not sized correctly, you can face water damage in your home.
