How to Prevent Burst Pipes

Before you experience the unfortunate surprise of a burst pipe, there are a few key steps that you can take to prevent pipes from bursting. We live in an area that is especially prone to freezing pipes during our many months of cold weather, and preparation can go a long way in avoiding major damage.

A few tips to observe:

  • Check your pipes – Keep an eye on insulation around pipes and be sure to have someone check in on your property if you’ll be away during freezing months. You don’t want to return home after a week away to find that the leak has been left to wreck havoc.
  • Fix leaks – Unaddressed leaks can contribute to pipes bursting down the road, so be sure to call us at (720) 363-2907 as soon as leaks are identified to reduce damage and prevent more costly repairs. It may be a simple plumbing repair that saves you a lot of grief in the long-run.
  • Insulate pipes – Use lagging, a foam material that is designed to wrap around pipes, to insulate pipes that are outdoors and exposed to the elements. Lagging (or pipe insulation) can be purchased in various sizes and shapes to fit your piping and is easily installed.
  • Know the location of the main shut off valve/stop valve – Also known as the main stopcock, the main shut off valve will turn off water supply so that you can better contain the leak. In addition to knowing the location of this valve, also ensure that you’re able to turn it off in case of emergency. When you’re flustered, you may forget what to do or find that you can’t think straight to operate it. Practicing in advance will reduce the time the leak can run its course.
  • Open the doors – Keep internal doors (such as cabinets) cracked so that heated air can reach and wrap around metal pipes.
