Do I Need a Repipe Service?

Most people don’t think about the pipes that run through their walls too often. In fact, you probably haven’t thought about your pipes all that much unless something has happened, like a leak or other issue. At Blanton’s Air, Plumbing & Electric, we know the best thing to do is to stay out in front of serious problems and fix them before they become a serious hassle. This is particularly true when it comes to your pipes; the fewer leaks and problems you have to deal with, the less time and hassle you have to spend fixing them.

It may be time to replace your plumbing if any of the following are true:

• You need a leak in one of your pipes fixed more than once per year
• Your home is more than 30 years old and still has original plumbing
• There are visible signs of corrosion or wear and tear on exposed plumbing lines
• Your water has a reddish tint to it
• Your water tastes metallic
• Your plumbing was constructed using a recalled material

Worried About Frozen Pipes? 3 Key Precautions

If you’re worried about frozen pipes becoming an issue during the winter, there are several simple measures you can take to prevent this from occurring, both before and after the temperature starts to really drop in your area. Follow the tips below, and know that if you do need help, you can count on Blanton’s for pipe repair in Raleigh.

Before it gets cold:

• Insulate your pipes. Perhaps the most effective measure you can take, regardless of how cold a climate you live in, is to thoroughly insulate your pipes. Remember, pipes that are exposed are always more susceptible to the cold, and the more insulation you add, the less likely they are to freeze. This means pipes in your attic and crawl spaces should be the highest priority.
• Wrap your pipes in heat tape. You can also take heat tape, or some type of thermostatically controlled heat cable, and carefully wrap it around the pipes that are most susceptible to freezing.
• Locate and seal any air leaks. If you’ve got significant amounts of cold air leaking into your home, you have significantly more reason to be worried about frozen pipes. Examine your home for any air leaks that may be present. The most important places to check are near your pipes, electrical wiring and dryer vents. Any leaks you find should be sealed with caulk, foam insulation or weatherstripping.

After the temperature drops:

• Leave a trickle of cold water going. As amazing as it seems, sometimes leaving a slow trickle of cold water running through your faucets at night can be enough to ward off frozen pipes.
• Open up cabinet doors. Sometimes, pipes located within your cabinets and wall will be blocked off from receiving the benefits of your home’s warm air. To remedy this, consider leaving cabinet doors open overnight, as this allows heat to reach more reclusive areas.
