Many families and businesses are mopping up after frozen pipes burst with the rising temperatures. Plumbing experts say be patient and make sure your plumber is certified.
"I expect wait times of maybe three days. We have people already scheduled through Friday. So it hurts sometimes when you pick up phone calls to tell them that,” he said. “So just be patient."
With Tuesday morning's frigid 20-degree temperatures and a rapid warm-up this week, be aware of more bursts as you use pipes that haven’t been used for several days – such as outdoor faucets or utility room pipes. Use care when trying to turn your water on. The water shut-off is located inside a receptacle that could be located near your home just outside the perimeter of the foundation, depending on your neighborhood. In newer homes, it might be in your garage in the wall. You might need a key or wrench to turn it off. The irrigation system water shut-off is usually located near the street.
