The cold weather in winter froze the water pipes in the wall. How to thaw quickly?

It is common for the water pipes in our suburban bungalows in Shenyang to freeze in cold winter. We should take the following measures to thaw them.

1. Baking: If it is a bungalow, bake the exposed roots of water pipes and faucets with coal-burning charcoal, which will melt in a short time.

The second type is burning: the tap water from the roots and taps is burned, and it will melt soon.

The third kind is pouring water: pour the roots of water pipes and faucets with boiling water continuously, and it will melt in a short time. But before pouring, wrap the root and dragon head with a towel and pour boiling water on the towel.

In winter, we often encounter rain and snow, and the water pipes often freeze, which makes us unable to use water normally. If outdoor water pipes are not insulated, or there is accumulated water, they are easily frozen.

1: natural freezing

If the water pipe outside freezes and the sun comes out, let it thaw naturally. But if it rains and snows for days and the temperature is too low, it will be too slow to freeze naturally!

2. Warm water supply pipe

Pour warm water evenly back and forth on the water pipe. But it must be remembered that you can't scald the water pipe with boiling water to avoid the phenomenon of water pipe bursting, because it expands with heat and contracts with cold.

3. Saw it off and replace it with a new one

If the frozen part of the water pipe is short, it can be sawed off and replaced with a new one. If it is too long, it will be too wasteful to use this method. Local tyrants are free!

Step 4: segment processing

Blow with a hair dryer or wrap the water pipe with a towel, and then slowly pour in warm water. If there is still no water coming out of the water supply pipe, it means that the water meter is frozen. Wrap it in a hot towel and pour in warm water to thaw it. Indoor pipes can be frozen by raising the room temperature, such as turning on the air conditioner.

It is common that water pipes freeze in winter. The most economical way is to try to use boiled water in flush pipe when there is no water. If possible, when you are in flush pipe, try to catch the water in the flush pipe, so that the used hot water can be reused, and you may not be able to melt the ice in the water pipe at one time, so you keep flushing into the faucet.

If it's too much trouble, you have to pay someone.

On the contrary, why don't you try to keep the water pipe from freezing? This should start from the source, isn't it better to nip in the bud?

Before winter comes, wrap a thick layer of cotton and other clothes around the water pipe and put on warm clothes like people, so that the water pipe will not be frozen and reduce unnecessary troubles and losses.

Again: as long as the mind does not decline, the solution is always more difficult than the reality.
