Frozen Pipes?

Now that the weather is finally getting colder, pipes can freeze!

Watch for signs of a broken pipe:

• Unusual Sounds

If you flush the toilet or use the sink and you hear a gurgling sound, that could be a problem with a broken pipe. Any other strange whistling or banging sounds could also be another sign.

• Odors

Sewage has a distinctively unpleasant odor. Pay attention to any odors coming from your sinks, toilets or drains.

• Visible Water Leaks on Walls or Ceilings

Damp drywall can be a good indicator that there may be a broken pipe behind the wall or ceiling.

• Sink not acting properly

If the water is not coming out of the faucet at the usual rate, or if you have a persistent clog you could have a broken pipe.
