In general, this can be accomplished by turning off the main water supply to the relevant tap and letting the water flow until there is no more. It will help if you exercise caution when utilising antifreeze products, as these compounds can cause damage to pipelines and the environment.
If past years indicate, we can anticipate many more frigid winters. And that could signal trouble for our pipes and, by extension, our homes. Frozen pipes are a major problem. Not only can they prevent your heating and hot water from functioning, but they can also rupture, resulting in leaks or flooding.
In frigid climates, you must turn off the water valves beneath the sink and open the tap to drain excess water. Antifreeze can also be poured down the sewer to protect against frozen pipes.
As much of the United Kingdom is expected to experience sub-zero temperatures in the days leading up to Christmas, frozen pipelines are not uncommon. Freezing and thawing can sometimes cause channels to burst.
