What to do if the pipes at your dacha are frozen: hurry to remove ice from the water supply
Water will definitely freeze in open pipes at your dacha if they are located outdoors.
Therefore, they are usually placed under the ground or well insulated to avoid unnecessary problems.
But in open space, even if the temperature is one degree below zero, very soon they will not be able to pass water.
Ice formation is dangerous for pipes because frozen water tends to expand.
What can be done about frozen pipes at the dacha?
First of all, you can try to defrost the pipes using hot water or warm air.
If you think that the water in the pipe has frozen under the ground, you can try to light a fire - but it is important to follow fire safety rules.
Some summer residents use a pump that pumps hot water into the pipes.
It is important to remember that it is better to solve the problem of frozen ice immediately, as too much ice accumulation can negatively affect the condition of metal components.
