Signs of Frozen or Burst Pipes
No Water
One of the biggest indicators that your pipes are likely frozen is a total lack of water flowing from any of your faucets, toilets, fixtures, showers, tubs, etc. When this happens, it usually means that the water in your supply pipes has frozen solid. If you notice minimal water coming from your plumbing fixtures while in the dead of Kauai, HI winter, you most likely have a partial freeze, which is still extremely dangerous and needs to be dealt with by professionals at Steve’s Plumbing & A/C – Kauai right away.
Water Damage
A major red flag when it comes to frozen pipes is if you notice spots or signs of water damage around your home. This could indicate that part of your pipes has already actually burst and is leaking in your home. Water damage is a red flag for imminent danger and inevitable flooding from a burst pipe in the very near future, and needs to be addressed by Steve’s Plumbing & A/C – Kauai immediately. If you notice any of the following leaks and damage in your home, call Steve’s Plumbing & A/C – Kauai right away:
- Structural damage to your property such as sagging, collapse, or textured walls and ceilings.
- Peeling or bubbling paint or wallpaper around your home. A sound of faint running water somewhere around your house. Moldy, musty, foul odors that could be due to mold.
- Staining around your home such as green, black, or orange spots.
Foul Odors
Have you noticed an unfamiliar, foul odor coming from your drains? This could very well be due to blockages in your plumbing system from frozen water in your pipes. In the event you notice foreign odors coming from even just one of your drains while it is cold outside, you should call Steve’s Plumbing & A/C – Kauai to have your pipes looked at, just in case, at the very least.
