To keep your pipes from freezing in the winter, maintain a constant temperature in your home above freezing, and be certain to adequately insulate those pipes that are out in the weather. Your pipes can freeze if temperatures around them fall below 32 degrees. It takes time for the pipes to thaw out so you can have water again. However, your pipes can explode, leading to flooding and costly repairs.

Don't use harsh chemicals such as toilet tablets that claim to be cleaners in your toilet. These products may well remove odors, but they can seriously damage the rubber pieces in the toilet, which can prevent your toilet from functioning correctly.

If you have a water pipe that freezes, switch on the nearest faucet tap to that pipe so that water can exit when the pipe thaws. This relieves the pressure contained in the pipe as it also prevents it from bursting, and could prevent cracks from appearing.

You might be tempted to call the plumber every time you need something fixed, but if you have problems repaired all at once, you can save up money for repairs.Most plumbers charge an hourly rate and a flat rate for the trip: asking a plumber to fix multiple problems in one visit to your home.
