How to prevent water pipes from freezing in winter

The methods to prevent water pipes from freezing in winter include keeping cold, electric heating and turning on a tap.

1, cold and heat preservation

Bury cotton and linen fabric, foam, cotton cloth or straw left over from autumn near the water pipe, and wrap the water pipe to keep out the cold, so that the possible icing situation will not be so serious, and the effect of heat preservation and antifreeze will be achieved.

The weather forecast says that when there is freezing, you can spread it early. If it is a water pipe that goes around the upstairs, you can also spend some time wrapping the exposed water pipe, so that the freezing situation will not be so serious.

Step 2 use electric heating

Many people have heard that the tropics can be laid all the way along our water pipes. If they freeze, they can be thawed in time, knowing that they will freeze, they can be opened in a few days, and they can also prevent freezing.

3. Turn on the tap a little.

We can turn on the tap at home for a few days after receiving the news that it is going to cool down and freeze, so that the water in the water pipe can flow all the time, which can also prevent freezing, and then use a bucket below, even if it freezes, there will be spare water.

In rural areas, many people still use the water from their own wells. In winter, the water in the well is warm, so it will not freeze easily when flowing in the water pipe, and the water pipe will not break because of the large temperature difference.
