Getting you ready for the BIG CHILL!
Every winter million of pounds of damage are experienced by businesses and households from burst pipes. However by taking some basic precautions, many incidents can be prevented:
-
Protect pipes and tanks with good quality lagging BS6700.
-
Repair dripping taps and faulty ball valves as they can cause waste pipes to freeze.
-
For unoccupied buildings or those with a history of freezing incidents, leave the heating set to a low level, or drain all equipment that is susceptible to condensation or freezing.
