The HVAC system may play a role in the thaw. The article states that the thermostat should be set no lower than 12 degrees Celsius during the winter when all occupants are out. At the same time, have your contractor check if all carbon monoxide sensors are active and if you have a gas oven, the main door should be closed.

Thawing pipes can be a sign of normalcy returning to the home after weeks of harsh cold. An expert Salt Lake City plumber working for a trusted firm like ESCO is the one you need by your side.

Insulation and other measures can barely have any effect, however, if the water heating devices themselves are defective. Water heaters, which are some of the most used devices during wintertime, may develop troubles without warning. This is especially true if the heating equipment is in between scheduled maintenance periods. Rather than attempt DIY repairs, it would be wiser to call in a trusted Salt Lake City plumber with proven expertise in home heating concerns. There comes a time when a water heater fails to perform its most basic task, i.e. produce enough hot water. Gas-powered water heaters are often crippled by defective gas pilot control valves, while faulty thermostats are the bane of most electric water heaters. While comprehensive DIY instructional guides can show you how to replace these faulty components, you’ll no doubt need the expertise of an experienced Salt Lake City plumber to prevent such problems from getting worse.

The main issue appears to be with the cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) pipes that make up the Kitec system. Those with this kind of plumbing system should call a plumber in Salt Lake City for an immediate replacement. The problem began in 2011 when several homeowners reported of their PEX pipes bursting all of a sudden despite being relatively new. One family in Windsor, Ont. received a water bill amounting to a whopping $13,000 due to a broken PEX pipe. While this was happening, the manufacturers were already engaged in a class-action lawsuit.

In Salt Lake City, households rely on their furnace or boiler to give them warm showers when they need one. During winters, warm water is even much more relaxing because the weather can get really cold. However, it is during winter time too when heaters fail the most. To prevent this from ever happening again, make sure that your furnace or boiler has been checked by a plumbing professional and have it repaired when deemed necessary.

Make sure that your septic tank is also checked before winter time. Do not wait until it becomes full before you get it emptied, especially when it's nearing its maximum capacity as winter arrives. Digging through frozen and snowy ground is so much more difficult than digging through the same ground in any other season, making such type of service from a capable Salt Lake City plumber very expensive.

How would you know whether your septic tank is just about to reach its full capacity? If you have lived in your residence for quite a while, you would know how often it happens. If you have doubts, it is better to have it checked by a plumbing professional prior to winter's arrival so you can be sure that you're going to have a much nicer winter without being bothered by septic tank issues.
