Is your water pipe frozen in cold weather?

This winter, a cold wave struck. As the cold air moves south, the temperature in some areas in the south as well as the north is around-0/0 degrees. In this weather, many friends' water pipes are frozen and cracked, which brings great inconvenience to everyone's daily life, and Bian Xiao's circle of friends is also in mourning. Is there any good way to prevent water pipes from freezing in such cold weather?

Method 1: wind the water pipe.

When people feel cold, people know that they need to put on more clothes, so we can also "put on clothes" for the water pipes for fear of freezing. Wrapping some plastic foam or cotton and linen fabric outside the water pipe can play the role of heat preservation of the water pipe and also play a certain role in freezing prevention of the water pipe in cold seasons.

Method 2: running water to prevent freezing

Static liquids freeze more easily than dynamic liquids. Therefore, in cold weather, in order to prevent the water pipe from freezing, at night, we can unscrew the faucet a little, let the water flow out of the faucet slowly, and keep the water in the water pipe flowing, so as to prevent the water pipe from freezing.

We can pick up the water from the tap with a clean bucket and use it as usual in our daily life. This method can prevent water pipes from freezing and cracking, and remember never to waste water resources.

Method 3: Drain the remaining water in the pipeline.

If there is no water in the water pipe, the water pipe will not freeze. From this point of view, we can empty all the remaining water in the water pipe before going to bed. To prevent water pipes from freezing.

Turn off the main water valve before going to bed, then turn on the faucet, let out the remaining water in the water pipe, catch it with a bucket, and keep the water pipe hollow to prevent it from freezing. Using this method, you need to pay attention to the warmth of the main water valve. Be careful that the main water valve is frozen and cannot be opened the next day.

Method 4: Electric heat tracing insulating tape

Electric heat tracing technology is a very effective pipeline insulation and anti-freezing technology. Electric heat tracing insulation tape is often used in solar water heaters. At present, there are some simple electric heat tracing insulation belts on the market, which are very helpful to prevent water pipes from freezing when used on domestic water pipes.

The disadvantage of this anti-freezing method is its high cost. Therefore, everyone should choose whether to use it according to their own situation.

Method 5: Keep the room temperature.

Check whether the doors and windows at home are closed before going to bed, especially those in the kitchen, bathroom and balcony. If you forget to turn it off, it is likely that all the water pipes in your house will freeze overnight. In winter, changing the curtains at home into thicker styles will also keep the room temperature at home.

After the water pipe freezes, don't rush to scald it with boiling water, which will easily lead to the direct burst of the water pipe. The correct way is to apply a hot towel to the frozen place, or shower the frozen place with warm water and thaw it slowly.
