In winter, the weather is cold, and the water pipes in the wall are frozen, how to thaw them quickly

Living in a bungalow in our Shenyang effect area is a common occurrence in the cold winter when the water pipes are frozen, and the following methods should be taken to thaw them.

The first is roasting: if it is a bungalow, use coal-fired charcoal to roast the roots of the exposed water pipes and faucets, and it will melt after a while.

The second is burning: burn the tap water root and faucet with fire, and it will melt after a while.

The third is watering: use boiling water to pour boiling water continuously on the root of the tap pipe and the faucet, and it will melt after a while. However, wrap the roots and faucet with a towel before watering, and pour boiling water on the towel.

In winter, we often encounter rainy and snowy weather here, and the water pipes often freeze, causing us to not be able to use water normally. If the outdoor water pipes are not warmed, or if there is water hoarding, it is easy to freeze.

1: Natural freezing.

If the water pipe is frozen outside, the sun comes out and let it thaw naturally. But if it rains and snows for many days, the temperature is too low, and the natural freezing is too slow!

2: Warm water hose.

Pour warm water evenly back and forth over the water pipe. However, it is important to remember that you should not use boiling water to iron the water pipe, so as not to burst the water pipe, due to thermal expansion and cold contraction.

3: Sawed off and replaced with a new one.

If the frozen section of the pipe is very short, you can cut it off and replace it with a new one. If it's too long, it's too wasteful to use this method. Local tyrants are free!

4: Segmented processing.

Use a hair dryer or wrap a towel in the hose and pour it slowly with lukewarm water. If there is still no water flowing out of the watering pipe, it means that the water meter is also frozen, wrap a hot towel around the water meter, and pour warm water to thaw the meter. If the indoor pipe is frozen, you can use methods to increase the room temperature, such as turning on the air conditioner.

It is not uncommon for water pipes to freeze in winter. The most economical way is to find a way to flush the pipe with boiling water when there is no water, and if possible, try to catch the water of the flushing pipe, so that the used hot water can also be reused, and it may not be possible to flush the ice in the water pipe at one time, and so on until the water comes out of the water tap.

If it's too troublesome, then you can only pay someone for money.

Instead of that, why not think of a way to keep the water pipes from freezing? This should start from the source, isn't it better to prevent problems before they happen?

Before the arrival of winter, wrap a layer of thick cotton and other clothing around the water pipes, and wear a layer of warm clothing like people, so that the water pipes will not be frozen, and unnecessary troubles and losses will be reduced.

It's still the same sentence: as long as the mind does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties.

In the case of a bungalow, the exposed roots of the water pipes and faucets will be roasted by the coals for a while before melting. Or burn it at the root of the tap water and faucet, and it will melt in a while. You can also use boiling water to continuously pour water from the roots of the water pipes and faucets, and it will melt in a short time.

But before pouring, wrap the faucet in a towel and pour boiling water over the towel.

The water pipe is frozen and quickly thawed the square shirt fighting method:

1. If the water pipe in the wall is frozen, you can thaw the water pipe by fire, you need to turn off the power at home first, and melt the ice of the water pipe in the wall through the fire baking machine, not too close to the wall.

2. You can prepare a hot towel to apply on the top of the water pipe, the towel should not be too hot, use warm water to soak the towel, so that the ice in the water pipe can melt through the temperature of the towel, and it can recover faster.

3. You can also use a hair dryer near the water pipe, after turning on the hot air, repeatedly use the hot air to blow the surface of the water hail fiber tube, and the ice inside the glue can effectively melt after blowing.

Methods to prevent freezing of water pipes in the wall

1. If the weather is cold, you can choose to open the faucet slightly so that the faucet can drip water, as long as the water in the pipe is in a flowing state, the probability of freezing is relatively small. But to prevent waste, you can use a large bucket to be placed under the tap to catch the water.

2. Keep the water pipe warm, you can also use thermal insulation cotton or useless sweater to wrap it around the water pipe, so that the water pipe can be kept at a certain temperature, and it is not easy to freeze. Moreover, the cost of this antifreeze method is not very high, so it is used by most families.

3. If it is used for household pipes, try to install it indoors to reduce the invasion of cold air. In addition, if the weather is cold, close the doors and windows at night to ensure that the indoor temperature is not too low, and the phenomenon of water pipes freezing is relatively small, and it will not affect the normal water use. Or auspicious.

The method is as follows: 1. For relatively thick pipes, the pipe heating method can be used, that is, after the pipe interface is unloaded, warm salt water is injected into the pipe, and the water pipe will be thawed quickly. However, this method is cumbersome and should be considered carefully!

2. If your pipes are PPR materials, you can use hair dryers: pay attention not to blow in one place when blowing, but blow up and down, so that you can thaw the tap water pipes; If the sun can't melt the freezing, then it should be scalded with hot water. However, do not use hot water directly at the beginning, otherwise it is easy to cause water pipe damage.

It should be poured with warm water several times, then take a pot of hot boiling water, and pour it evenly back and forth on the water pipe, being careful not to burn yourself. If the freezing is severe, you can pour it several times until the water pipe is boiled.

3. You can cover the faucet and water pipe with a towel or damp cloth, and unscrew the switch. Then, starting from the faucet, the warm water is slowly poured over the water pipe, section by section, and gradually extended, so that the ice in the pipe slowly melts, and soon the water flow can be restored.

4. If your water pipe is a cast iron water pipe, you can consider a blowtorch.

If you find that the water pipes inside the wall are frozen, then there are some ways to solve it.

1.If the water pipe in the wall is frozen, the water pipe can be unfrozen by the method of fire, you must first turn off the switching power supply at home, and melt the ice of the water pipe in the wall through the burning equipment, not too close to the wall, otherwise it is likely to burn the wall, and you must maintain a certain distance from the wall, and gradually use fire to continuously bake.

2.If there is no way to solve the problem through this method, you can also find a local waterworks to solve the problem, and the workers will have professional special tools to effectively repair the power supply at home.

1.You can prepare a hot towel in advance to apply to the top of the water pipe, the towel should not be too hot, use warm boiled water to soak the towel, so that the temperature of the towel can melt the ice in the water pipe, and the tap water can be quickly repaired.

2.You can also use a hair dryer close to the vicinity of the water pipe, and after turning on the warm air, you can continuously use the warm air to blow the surface of the water pipe, and the ice inside the glue can also melt reasonably after blowing.

1.If the weather is very cold, then before going to bed, turn on the tap as much as possible to the smallest part, so that the water will be in a moving situation and will not be easy to freeze.

2.Raw materials such as towels or cotton wool can be wrapped around the outside of the water pipe, which can reasonably avoid water seepage in the water pipe and can also bring a certain anti-corrosion effect.

3.In winter, the weather is cold, so it is not necessary to turn on the water heater at home as much as possible, especially the windows and doors facing the north area, which can better ensure that the temperature water pipes in the house are not easy to freeze.

4.You can use an electric heat tracing bag to place it on top of the water pipe, which can bring a certain thermal insulation effect, but the price is relatively high.

1. The solution to the freezing of water pipes in winter:

1. Defrost the towel with hot water.

Material tools: towels, hot water.

1) When the water pipe is frozen, wrap the water pipe tightly with a towel;

(2) Boil a pot of hot water, pour it on top of a towel, water it on it, and it will be thawed and used normally after a while;

(3) If the frost is more serious, you can water it for a while, and then water it evenly to better play the role of thawing. Remember not to pour hot water directly on the water pipes, as direct contact between hot and cold can easily cause the water pipes to burst.

2. Defrost with a hair dryer.

Turn on the hair dryer to blow hot air evenly on the faucet, if the faucet thaws, it will start to drip water, no need to blow again; If it doesn't melt after blowing for a while, you need to blow the water pipe below.

3. Heating outside the tube

Use steam, hot water, fire roasting, electric heating and other means to melt the frozen ice in the pipe into water and discharge it to achieve the dredging effect.

4. Heating in the tube:

Unload the pipe, and use a hose thinner than the pipe to introduce steam, water, salt water, etc. into the pipe to melt the ice in the pipe and dredge the pipe. The thinner pipe can be heated outside the tube, and the thicker can be heated inside.

2. Prevention: 1. Drain the water.

In the cold winter, if you don't want the water pipe to freeze, in this case, you can directly pull down the sluice gate at home, and at the same time use old clothes to keep the position of the sluice a warm, after the sluice is pulled down, then open all the faucets in the house, and let go of all the water left in the water pipe. If the water in the pipes is emptied, there will be no water to freeze.

2. Wrap old clothes.

Before winter comes, you can take out some old clothes from home and wrap them around the water pipes that are easy to freeze. If the weather is particularly cold in winter, it is best to wrap in several layers of clothing. This can effectively prevent the water pipe from freezing in winter.

3. Use electric heaters.

You can buy some electric belts directly, the surface of the electric belt can be heated, and in winter, the water pipes are not easy to freeze. This method is relatively simple and fast.

4. Apply antifreeze.

You can directly use the antifreeze for the car, and the antifreeze for the car can be directly applied to the water pipe that may be frozen, and then brush with a layer of paint after the coating, so that you can achieve a good antifreeze effect.

5. Close doors and windows.

In winter, it's best not to ventilate the house for too long. Be sure to close the doors and windows of your home when it is close to night. If the doors and windows are closed, the indoor temperature will be relatively high, and if the indoor temperature is high, the water pipes in the high temperature state will not be easy to freeze.

1. You can use the steam method, use a pressure cooker or a small boiler to boil water, and use a plastic pipe to send steam into the frozen pipeline to thaw it.

2. Or use the current method to heat the pipeline by using the principle of short circuit, and the starting time should not exceed three seconds to prevent burning out the loose welding machine.

3. The hair dryer with a higher temperature can also thaw the frozen water pipe.

4. The hot water can melt the frozen water pipe.

5. Contact the property or professional maintenance master to solve the problem.

6. Wrap the underground water pipe in a hot towel and melt it slowly.
