This winter has been a doozy. And, though spring is only a few months away, it is still important to consider a major winter issue that could potentially affect your sewer and cause the need for sewer repair. During the cold winter months and into spring as the temperatures fluctuate, we here at All Ways Drains are often called to help clear ice that has accumulated in or near sewers and to fix frozen sewers. Storm sewers tend to have a problem with snow melting and refreezing in storm drains due to the ground being so cold. And, as experts in sewer repair for Roseville, we have seen plenty of iced over sewer pipes. So we thought we would offer some insight on what to look out for, how we help fix this problem and some sewer repair solutions we can offer.
After the snow begins to melt but the ground near the drains is still cold enough to freeze, it is important to call in the sewer repair experts. Ice can cause sewers to freeze, pipes to freeze and sewer lines to back up. This can lead to flooding and other sewer issues. A frozen sewer line, or a sewer trap is not typically a common occurrence. But when it does occur, it can close down a drain system and cause a major inconvenience. We all know that when water freezes, it expands in volume. When water freezes in the pipe, it expands and either causes damage to your plumbing system, or a stoppage.
So how can you avoid this issue in the future and avoid a call to a sewer repair professional like us? One of the most effective methods to prevent a freezing pipe is to use insulation as the first line of defense against low temperature, and pipes exposed to drafts. Keep an eye on it and make sure you keep it as clear as possible.
