How to prevent water pipes from freezing in the cold winter in the north

1. In cold weather, especially at night, close the windows of the balcony, kitchen, bathroom and all rooms facing north to ensure that the indoor temperature is above zero. If the temperature is below zero, you can turn off the tap slightly at night to make the water flow in a line to ensure the flow of tap water in the pipeline and prevent it from freezing at night.

2. For the water pipes and faucets that have been frozen, you can apply a hot towel to the water pipes, and then use a warm shower to thaw them. Never bake it directly with fire or scald it with boiling water, so as not to cause the pipe or water meter to burst.

3. If the water pipes and water meters burst, we should seek solutions from property units, housing management departments and property management in time.

Extended data:

Users should be responsible for the anti-freezing and heat preservation of water facilities at home: users should wrap water pipes, water meters and faucets at home with cotton and linen fabrics and plastic foam as soon as possible; The pipe gallery door of the pipeline well in the unit building should be closed in time to prevent the water meter in the pipe gallery from freezing; The inlet and outlet pipes of the roof water tank should be wrapped with thermal insulation materials.

For frozen water pipes, the water supply department reminds the public to take self-help measures as soon as possible to avoid delaying the expansion of freezing. Citizens can blow dry with a hair dryer, or wrap it in a towel, and then slowly pour in warm water. Never bake it directly with fire or scald it with boiling water, so as not to cause the pipe or water meter to burst.

When self-help fails, citizens can seek solutions from property units, housing management departments and property management, or seek help from the Municipal Water Supply Corporation.
