In winter, due to the low temperature, the leaky pipes are prone to freezing, and it is necessary to thaw the pipes in order to use them normally. Generally, a variety of countermeasures can be taken, and at the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to safety and scientific methods, and it is recommended to contact professional water pipe maintenance personnel for treatment when necessary.
1. Hot compress method: You can use a hot towel to apply it to the water pipe to let the frozen place slowly melt. Note that hot towels don't need to be very hot, as long as they're warm, and at the same time, you can pour hot water on top of the towels to keep the temperature long-lasting.
2. Baking method: Use the hot air stall of the hair dryer to continuously blow back and forth on the frozen position of the water pipe, so that the frozen position will slowly melt. At the same time, turn on the water pipe switch to release water, and when the water pipe resumes normal water supply, you can stop the hot blowing.
3. Watering method: If the frozen place of the water pipe is located inside the wall or underground, you can pour warm water into the water pipe to melt the ice, or call the local water affairs bureau to ask professionals to deal with it.
4. Prevention method: In order to avoid the water pipe being frozen again, you can wrap insulation materials such as foam, glass fiber, etc. outside the water pipe, and at the same time maintain the indoor temperature to avoid the temperature being too low.
What are the precautions for the thawing of the residential pipeline?
1. Pay attention to the thawing method: in the thawing process, scientific methods should be used, such as hot compress, baking, watering, etc., instead of dangerous methods such as fire roasting and boiling water should not be used, so as not to cause pipeline rupture or scalding.
2. Pay attention to the safe use of electricity: When using the baking method to thaw, you should pay attention to the safety of electricity, avoid short circuit of wires or electrical failures, and do not use electrical equipment in a humid environment.
3. Pay attention to maintaining the temperature: During the thawing process, the indoor temperature should be maintained to avoid the pipeline being frozen again due to too low temperature. At the same time, care should be taken not to set the temperature too high, so as not to cause deformation or rupture of the pipe.
4. Pay attention to pipeline maintenance: after thawing, check whether there are cracks or leakage in the pipeline in time, and if so, it should be repaired or replaced in time. At the same time, it is also necessary to regularly maintain and maintain the pipeline to avoid aging and damage to the pipeline.
5. Seek professional help: If it is difficult to thaw the pipeline or other problems occur, you should contact professional water pipe maintenance personnel in time to deal with it to avoid greater losses and potential safety hazards.
It should be noted that during the thawing process, you must not use fire roasting or boiling water to flush the water pipe directly, so as not to cause the pipe to burst. At the same time, after thawing, the indoor water valve should be closed in time to avoid cracking the pipeline due to the internal pressure caused by the freezing expansion of the water.
