If you are renting an apartment or you have just moved into a new home, there are things that you need to check. Sometimes, when just settling into a new home, many people forget to check and inspect the piping system. Well, it is easy to assume that everything is working well as long as there is water coming out from the faucets and the shower, right? Unfortunately it’s only when problems arise that people begin to think about their piping and plumbing systems to make things worse, problems with piping and plumbing are usually triggered during the winter season when you need it most.
One common plumbing problem that people have to deal with especially during the winter months is frozen pipes. In some condominium buildings and apartments, the pipes are not properly insulated. This is bad especially for the apartments that are more exposed to cold weather like the ones on the top floor or those that are in the exterior wall.
This is an error on the side of the building contractors but really, it’s you who will have to deal with this. It is best not to wait for a malfunction to happen before you call for your local plumber. Why? Well, the most likely scenario when your pipes become frozen the slowly moving water freezes too. This can cause your pipes to burst. Since the water inside is frozen, you won’t immediately notice that there is a busted pipe because there will be no leaks. You only notice it when, as the frozen water starts to melt during the day, it starts dripping. Even worse, if you are out of the house the entire day, you won’t even know that your pipes are leaking and everything in your house will be soaked.
To avoid such scenarios, it is best to call the local plumber to check on the pipes once you have moved in your house. Even if the winter months are not yet near, you should have the plumber check your plumbing and piping system so that you won’t encounter major problems.
