Frozen Pipes

SHREVEPORT, LA -- The snow and ice has melted, but many people fell victim to busted pipes while the weather was here. As the ice and snow thawed, that's when people realized that their pipes had burst and everyone started calling the local plumber.

With more snow on the horizon for later this week, one major thing people need to do to prevent their pipes from busting. People should use both hot and cold water at all times. If you just use your cold water, that could cause your pipes to burst easier.

With the cold weather slowly moving on, the warmer temperatures will mean melting snow and ice, and also problems with pipes and water drainage. The heavy snow cover has actually protected many of your pipes from freezing and bursting, a situation that as with the weather can change quickly. Then, it may be time to call in the plumber.

Nationwide, plumbers have had no shortage of work over the past couple of months. For many years, it was not good business sense for plumbing services companies operating in the Southern States to invest in plumbing equipment to thaw frozen pipes. The last couple of years, it has however been a popular service in demand.
