North Plumbing & Mechanical Expand Service Area To North Bay, ON

Residents of North Bay Ontario looking for a reliable plumbing service around Sturgeon Falls need not look any further than North Plumbing & Mechanical. The company recently expanded their service area to North Bay and looks forward to helping local residents with all their plumbing needs. Located on the shore of Lake Nipissing, North Bay is known to experience a range of different temperatures which can cause issues with plumbing. This creates the need for a reliable plumbing service that is available to carry out repairs or installations at a moment’s notice, both during the harsh winter and the milder summer.

During summer or spring, a home’s pipe system does not need much maintenance. The mild temperatures have little to no effect on pipes and homeowners need not worry about them at all. Cold weather, however, can affect the plumbing system in any home for the worse. As temperatures drop to freezing and below, pipes become vulnerable to damage that requires expensive repairs and inconveniences the homeowner. Damaged pipes may even, at times, leave homes without water for days if left unattended or, at worst, cause extensive damage to one’s property. There are a few measures homeowners can take to prevent damage before it happens and avoid the cost of hiring a plumber.

Homes with sprinkler systems are extremely susceptible to damage due to frozen pipes. Homeowners are encouraged to make sure that the water in the sprinkler system is fully and correctly drained. Outdoor sprinklers are often directly exposed to the cold during winter with very little protection. Making sure to drain completely all the water in the system and disconnect any hoses attached to the faucet helps keep any connected pipes from freezing and bursting.

Pipes close to the outer walls of the house are more susceptible to freezing in cold weather and can burst, leak, and wreak havoc on one’s property if not properly insulated. Making sure to insulate these pipes, especially those that have recently been replaced, will help avoid the severe damage that burst pipes have been known to cause in the severe Canadian winter. It also helps to keep the area surrounding exposed pipes spacious so that the warm temperature from the house can keep the exposed pipes from freezing.

Learning how to shut off the water completely can help in emergencies as well. A burst or severely damaged pipe can lead to water flooding the house. Learning to shut off the water supply to one’s house completely can help mitigate the damage done to one’s home in case of flooding. Even a fast Sturgeon Falls plumber may not always arrive instantaneously, and knowing how to shut off the water supply manually can prevent the damage pipe from causing any further damage while waiting for the plumber to arrive.

Frozen pipes can lead to water not running properly. A tap suddenly not providing water can be sign of frozen or damaged pipes. Acting quickly not only enables the quick restoration of a water supply but also prevents any further damage, thus decreasing the amount a homeowner might expect to spend on repairs.
