Quad Cities residents experienced a surge of burst pipes during an extreme cold snap in January, and continue to see an uptick during this especially harsh winter, according to WQAD News. Even a small 1/8-inch crack in a pipe can leak more than 3,000 gallons of water per day into a home, industry analysis shows. Repairs to frozen pipes can cost $150 to $2,000 for just the pipe itself, with water restoration, mold remediation, and structural repairs often adding thousands more.
The expanded emergency services allow technicians from Northwest Plumbing, Heating & AC to handle urgent problems around the clock. However, company representatives urge homeowners to take proactive steps that protect their plumbing systems during extreme cold. Recommendations include disconnecting outside hoses from faucets, opening cabinets on exterior walls to allow warm air circulation, and letting water run slightly down drains to prevent freezing.
Homeowners who discover frozen pipes should apply heat to the span by wrapping it with an electric heating pad or towels that have been soaked in hot water, technicians explain. An electric hair dryer or space heater can also be used. Homeowners should apply heat until full water pressure is restored, and call a plumber if this is not possible.
Northwest Plumbing, Heating & AC has served the Quad Cities since 1923, building a century-long reputation for reliability and local expertise. Beyond crisis response, the company offers preventative plumbing maintenance programs to help homeowners avoid future pipe emergencies. It also provides HVAC solutions such as furnace repair and installation, humidifier installation, geothermal systems, AC repair and installation, air purification systems, and more.
