FAQ
FAQ : Plumbing Winterization
What does plumbing winterization help to prevent?
Winterizing your pipes is a long process that prepares residential and commercial plumbing equipment for winter’s freezing temperatures. Ohio’s freezing temperatures can wreak havoc on pipes and damage them causing leaks and breaks in the system. When water freezes it expands as it becomes ice. This ice expansion produces pressure inside the pipes, which causes damage to the pipes and can require pipe replacement. Without plumbing winterization on a home or building sitting empty during the winter, it’s not uncommon for there to be pipe bursts or problems with water heaters.
Because of this, you’ll need to figure out how much hot water you’re using. If you ever start to run out of heated water during certain times of the day or on a regular basis, you should consider investing in a larger unit or one with a tank. You also need to look at your First Hour Rating (or FHR) to determine the most appropriate size of water heater you need. The number of gallons your water heater uses to distribute heated water throughout home in an hour is represented by this number. The number can also be found on a manufacturer’s website or by calling your local plumber at Grove City Plumbing & Drain.
How does plumbing winterization work?
Winterizing plumbing is especially recommended when a home or building will be vacant for a long period of time or when it’s going to be without heat or water running through the pipes. The plumbing winterizing process involves emptying the water heater or water heater’s storage tank, draining all that water from the home or building’s pipes, and filling plumbing fixtures with plumbing antifreeze. In unoccupied buildings, draining all the water out of the pipes prevents the water from freezing inside them and causing damage.
