Got frozen pipes at home? With the UK currently facing freezing temps, it’s a common issue many of us are dealing with. But don’t worry, there’s a simple trick to have them defrosted in just two hours! 💡
Here’s what to do: Open up all the cupboards where your pipes are located, especially in your kitchen and around exterior walls. This lets warm air circulate around the pipes, helping to melt any ice. It’s an easy way to speed up the thawing process and prevent further freezing or even burst pipes.
I forgot to open up my cupboards on a chilly night when it hit -5°C, and guess what? Woke up to frozen pipes! But once I opened the cupboards and turned up the heating, things were back to normal in a couple of hours. 🎉
Want to try another method? Grab a hot water bottle or slowly pour hot (not boiling!) water over the frozen pipe. This works wonders for thawing things out. It’s also a smart idea to insulate your pipes and keep an eye on hose pipes in the winter months.
Stay warm and keep those pipes flowing this winter! 💧🔥
