Protecting Your Residence from Frozen Pipes and Worse

During the cold East Coast winters, your home can suffer extensive wear and tear. Along with your heater working diligently to keep your house warm, your plumbing also works overtime to keep water flowing in and out as normal. However, your plumbing can be compromised during the coldest of weather even if take every precaution to protect your pipes and drains. When you need to have your pipes thawed out or your drains snaked, you would do well to reach out to professionals like plumbers Cambridge MA who can offer you same day and emergency assistance with these matters.

Trying to thaw out pipes that are frozen can be a difficult time consuming task. You may have to spend hours using a hair dryer to get the frozen water inside the pipes to thaw. Even at that, you may risk breaking the pipe if you have never before handled this kind of delicate task. Rather than break your vinyl plumbing fixtures or warp those made out of metal, you would do well to allow professional plumbers to use their equipment that is specifically designed to melt frozen pipes. They have the patience and the technology to get the job done quickly.

Likewise, clogged drains in the wintertime can be particularly difficult to handle. Even if you plunge the drain, you may find that the water goes nowhere because the drains are too frozen or slushy.

He also has professional-grade chemicals that can break up clogs permanently. These chemicals and tools are often not sold to the public. Rather than trying to fix the problem yourself, you would fare better to hire a contractor who is trained to handle this kind of work.
