Don’t Use A Torch To Thaw Your Frozen Pipes!

February 21, 2016 by Boris Mechanical

Folks, it’s that time of year again. Here in New York City, we’re getting fluctuating temperatures, where balmy spring like days are immediately followed by freezing cold days. This sudden back and forth can sometimes result in frozen pipes. As your NYC plumber, I’ve got to tell you: don’t try to use a torch to thaw your frozen pipes! It’s just not safe. The risk of setting your building on fire is very high and it’s just not worth it – there are better, safer ways to get your water running again.

If your pipes have burst, split, or are otherwise compromised by the cold, call your NYC plumber right away. Getting the water shut off is a top priority; so is coordinating cleanup as standing water inside the property can present a significant health hazard. Make the emergency service call and let the pros handle it: you don’t want to run the risk of getting electrocuted or otherwise injured.

NYC New Appliance Installation: Gas Lines & Plumbing Services

The beginning of the year is a great time for kitchen appliance sales. If you’ve gotten a new dishwasher, refrigerator, stove or other appliance that needs new gas lines or plumbing for installation, give us a call. We’ll remove your old appliance if needed, and make any adjustments to the drain or supply lines as needed to accommodate your new appliance. Big box stores often contract appliance installation to the lowest bidder: that may not be who you want servicing the gas lines in your home. Trust an experienced professional NYC plumber who knows how to do the job right.
