Dennis, MA (PRWEB) November 21, 2005 -- Mark DiBenedetto knows what’s coming. He can sense it, feel it.
“The biggest problem we see are frozen outdoor pipes,” says DiBenedetto, owner of M.D. Plumbing and Heating in South Dennis, Mass. and a Worcester native. “It’s a common problem throughout New England.”
Outdoor showers are the main culprit. For whatever reason, homeowners often forget – or don’t know how – to drain their outdoor pipes.
“If you don’t drain them, the pipes will freeze and then crack,” he says.
Avoid that scenario by following DiBenedetto’s tips – which are designed for those who don’t know a shutoff valve from a sump pump switch.
First, DiBenedetto says, you’ll need to turn off the water supply to the fixture. You’ll find most shutoff valves in the basement. This is typically a stop and waste valve or a ball valve with a waste cap. It should be located before the pipes penetrate the sill.
For a stop and waste valve, shut off the water by turning the valve clockwise until it won’t turn anymore. For a ball valve, turn the handle a quarter turn so it is perpendicular to the pipe. Remove drain caps and let water drain.
Now go to your outdoor shower and turn on the spigots, letting them drain completely. Then inspect the water lines leading to the shower. If you see plugs attached to the lines, get a wrench and loosen them to let the water drain out.
If you procrastinate and your pipes do freeze, DiBenedetto says you can still avoid calling a plumber if you act quickly.
If the frozen pipe is a hot-water line, open the hot-water spigot. The moving water might thaw the pipe, DiBenedetto says. If both hot and cold water lines are frozen, or if you are not sure, open both spigots. Keep opening and closing the spigots until the water flows freely.
If that doesn’t work, you’ll have to warm up the pipes—but slowly! Work from the faucet toward the frozen area. DiBenedetto says you can use hair dryers, a heat lamp, space heaters or even towels soaked in hot water.
DiBenedetto, 27, says the move toward upscale plumbing and heating products definitely is a trend throughout New England.
“Elaborate showers with body sprays, granite countertops, high efficiency heating appliances are the rage,” he says.
DiBenedetto focuses on small, residential jobs. “My philosophy is, ‘keep it simple, keep it small.’ That’s what works for me.”
But frozen pipes? “I’d sure like to do fewer of them this year,” he says, laughing.
