Burst Pipe Repair Kansas City

Most burst pipes can be prevented with a little attention before winter and during long stretches of freezing weather. Here is what our team recommends:

1. Learn where your main water shutoff is and make sure it turns easily, so you can stop the flow fast if a pipe breaks.
2. Disconnect hoses and drain outdoor spigots in the fall.
3. Insulate pipes in crawl spaces, garages, attics and along exterior walls.
4. During cold snaps, open cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls and let those faucets drip on the coldest nights.
5. Keep the heat on and set to a steady temperature when you travel in winter.
6. Watch for warning signs like low water pressure, banging pipes or rust-colored water, which can point to a pipe that is wearing out.
