What if the water pipes freeze in winter?

If the water pipe freezes, the quick thawing method is as follows:

1, hot compress method. The so-called hot compress method is to wrap the exposed and frozen parts of the water pipe, including the faucet, with absorbent towels, preferably. Pour hot water on the towel. Be careful not to pour too much hot water at this time. Usually, towels are just soaked and then wait for a while. When the temperature drops and the steam stops, you can water it for the second time. Generally speaking, if it is not too cold, it will thaw after three times. Be careful not to try to twist the faucet when it is not completely thawed, which may destroy the sealing effect of the faucet and damage the use.

2, the hair dryer blows. In daily life, there will be a hair dryer at home, a tool for blowing hair at ordinary times. This means that we can blow hot air on the frozen water pipe with a hair dryer, and the water pipe can be thawed soon. However, when blowing, you should pay attention to blowing from the faucet first, and then slowly blow the water pipe. At the same time, we should also pay attention not to blow hard in one place, and let the water pipes be heated evenly, especially the water pipes of PPR, otherwise it is likely that some water pipes will be seriously heated, leading to damage, which is not worth the candle.

3. Electric heat tracing method. You may not know about the electric tracing belt, but everyone should know about the electric blanket. The essential function and principle of electric companion tape are the same as those of electric blanket, which will generate heat when electrified. We can buy a special electric tracing belt, wind it around the water pipe, and then electrify it. Under the heating of the electric tracing belt, the water pipe will thaw soon.
