Who is responsible for the freezing of residential water pipes?

The property company is responsible for the freezing of water pipes in residential areas.

In residential areas, property management companies are responsible for the management and maintenance of public facilities, including water supply systems. Water pipes in residential areas freeze, which is usually caused by low temperature weather or pipeline failure. In this case, the property company has the responsibility to take timely measures to thaw the water pipes to ensure the normal use of water by residents. Property companies usually send professional maintenance personnel to the site for thawing operation to repair any potential problems and prevent similar situations from happening again.

In addition, the property company should also regularly check and maintain the water supply system to ensure its normal operation and safety. If the property management company fails to perform its duties, which leads to the residents in the community not being able to use water normally for a long time, they may have to bear corresponding legal responsibilities. Therefore, when the residential water pipes freeze, residents can seek help and solutions from the property management company.

Anti-freezing method of water pipe

1, thermal insulation cotton or foam pipe: wrapping a layer of thermal insulation cotton or foam pipe on the outer layer of the water pipe can effectively reduce heat loss and prevent the water pipe from freezing.

2, dripping antifreeze method: when the temperature is below freezing point, turn on the faucet and let the water drip out slowly, so as to prevent the water in the water pipe from freezing and expanding.

3. Blowing anti-freezing method: Blowing the water pipe with an air compressor or a hair dryer to discharge the air in the pipe can reduce the possibility of freezing inside the water pipe.

4. Heating belt or electric blanket: wrap the water pipe with heating belt or electric blanket, and keep the temperature of the water pipe by providing continuous heat.

5. Indoor thermal insulation: ensure that the indoor temperature is appropriate, avoid cold air from entering the area around the house and water pipes, and reduce the risk of water pipes freezing.
