Commercial Building Water Loss from a Pipe Break in Louisville, Ohio

Frozen pipes are inevitable when below zero temperatures are ongoing for days. It may be difficult to know what to do to prevent pipes to freeze and break and water damage to be the end result to your commercial building.  

Leave Indoor Faucets Dripping

When a hard freeze hits Alliance, OH, you can let the kitchen and bathroom faucets drip overnight. While this can be helpful, it’s not the only thing you need to do to save your building from freezing pipes and potential flooding. You must also protect your outdoor water lines and other plumbing in your business. 

Turn heat on to the whole building or use heat tape

Turning on your heat to the whole building and keeping doors open will help pipes from freezing. You can also use tools like heat tape and other insulation to keep those pipes from bursting. This tape allows you to heat the parts of the building without worrying about frozen pipes. 

Frozen pipes can wreak havoc on businesses in Alliance, Oh. If a pipe in your building bursts, be sure to call a professional restoration company to help with clean up.
