TOPEKA, Kan. (KSNT) Frigid winter weather is sweeping northeast Kansas this week. With temperatures dipping down to single digits, experts say its important from homeowners to protect the pipes in their home from freezing.
Dave Cobler is the owner of Ace Plumbing in Topeka. He said this is a busy time of year for both his plumbing and heating business. Cobler said there are simple things you can do at home to prevent costly plumbing issues due to the cold.
Check the door seals, window seals and your foundation, Cobler said. Folks that live in crawl space type homes, theyd want to make sure their crawl space windows are closed and probably insulated.
All of those things can help the heat stay inside your home. Cobler said you can also open the cabinets underneath your sinks to let the heat reach your pipes more easily. He said this is especially helpful if your sink is on an exterior wall.
Another popular trick is to leave the water running in your sink, but Cobler said its important to make sure its a continuous stream and not just a dripple.
If you keep it dripping its going to keep that cold or hot water line from freezing up, Cober said. If its dripping too slowly it can possibly freeze the drain lines so thats the down side of letting water drip.
Ace Plumbing is located at 908 N Kansas Ave in Topeka and can be contacted at (785) 234-3384.
AAA of Kansas also has tips to make sure pipes dont freeze and how to recover if they do.
