When freezing temperatures arrive, it is recommended to drip water in pipes when temperatures are forecasted to drop below 20°F (-6°C) for several hours, particularly overnight. This keeps water moving and relieves pressure in vulnerable pipes, focusing on faucets located on exterior walls or in unheated areas such as garages and basements. Use a light, steady trickle of cold water, about a few drops per second, until the threat passes. When to start: Temperature threshold - 20°F (-6°C) or below for extended periods (3+ hours). Additionally, start dripping if power outages occur in freezing weather or ideally before the coldest temperatures arrive. How to drip: Maintain a slow, steady trickle, approximately one drop every few seconds or a stream as thin as a pencil lead. Dripping should occur on faucets on exterior walls and those in unheated areas like garages, attics, and crawl spaces. Both hot and cold water can be effective; however, cold water is often recommended for basic protection. Vulnerable pipes in unheated areas or against exterior walls require extra attention. Additional measures include opening kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors under sinks to allow warm air circulation around pipes, maintaining thermostat settings at least at 60°F (15°C), and insulating vulnerable pipes with foam covers or tape.

To address a leak in a wall, the initial steps involve shutting off the water supply and de-energizing the electrical breaker to the affected area. Next, inspect for signs of water damage, including discoloration, peeling paint, or a musty smell, to isolate the leak's location. Then, engage a professional plumber to accurately identify the source of the leak utilizing specialized tools such as a moisture meter or infrared camera. Professionals can subsequently repair the plumbing, dry the area, and replace damaged wall materials.

Immediate Actions

1. Shut off the Water Supply:
Locate the main water valve for your home and turn it off to stop the water from feeding the leak.

2. Turn off Electricity:
Switch off the power to any electrical outlets or fixtures near the leak to prevent electrical hazards.

Signs to Look For
• Visual Cues:
Check for damp or discolored spots, peeling paint or wallpaper, bulging walls, or water stains on walls or ceilings.

• Unusual Smells:
A persistent musty or moldy odor often indicates hidden moisture and potential mold growth.

• Structural Changes:
Look for warping, sagging, or cracks in the drywall, which suggest ongoing water damage.

• Sounds:
Listen for dripping, trickling, or gurgling sounds behind the walls, especially at night.

Professional Leak Detection & Repair
1. Professional Diagnosis:
Contact a qualified plumber to use professional tools like moisture meters or infrared cameras to accurately pinpoint the leak's source.

2. Locate the Source:
A professional will cut into the drywall to access the source of the leak, which could be a cracked pipe or faulty joint.

3. Repair the Damage:
The plumber will repair the leaking pipe or plumbing system.

4. Restore the Area:
After the leak is fixed, the area needs to be thoroughly dried, possibly using dehumidifiers, and then the damaged drywall and other materials will need to be removed and replaced.

Due to the age of the homes,galvanized pipes—and other metal pipes—are a common problem. Below is our list of the most frequently asked questions we have received about galvanized pipes.
What are galvanized pipes?
Galvanized pipes are steel pipes that have been dipped in a protective zinc coating to prevent corrosion and rust. Galvanized piping was commonly installed in homes built before 1960. When it was invented, galvanized pipe was an alternative to lead pipe for water supply lines. Today, however, we have learned that decades of exposure to water will cause galvanized pipes to corrode and rust on the inside.
How long do galvanized pipes last?
No piping system lasts forever, but galvanized pipes have a life span of between 40 to 100 years. If your home’s pipes are from the 1960s or earlier, they are likely nearing the end of their functional life span. However, there’s a reason galvanized pipes are no longer used in modern construction: the risk they pose to a home’s water supply and people’s health.
Are there safety risks or concerns with galvanized plumbing?
By far, the most significant problem related to galvanized pipes is the mineral deposits that accumulate within the piping. Over time, it causes a reduction in water pressure and pollutes your home’s water. And as rust and corrosion deepen, they compromise the piping system’s stability and cause leaks.
As old and corroded galvanized pipes age, they can release accumulated lead into your tap water. That lead can pose significant health concerns, as ingesting too much can result in lead poisoning, and its symptoms include fatigue, headaches, insomnia, nausea, constipation, abdominal pain, and reduced cognitive abilities. High doses of lead are of particular concern with children, as it can hinder their brain development and lead to lifelong health issues.

To Maintain a Healthy Septic System: Best Practices for Flushing and Drainage. Only flush human waste and toilet paper that is specifically designed to break down easily. Avoid flushing wipes, even those labeled as 'flushable.' In terms of drain maintenance, refrain from pouring grease, oil, and food scraps down the sink. Similarly, avoid disposing of hazardous household chemicals, paints, varnishes, pharmaceuticals, anti-freeze, pesticides, and other organic chemicals that can harm the beneficial bacteria in your septic tank. Additionally, do not flush non-biodegradable items such as feminine hygiene products, diapers, paper towels, cigarette butts, and dental floss.
