Columbus plumbers for Roto-Rooter were pretty busy the past few days, as were their fellow service technicians throughout Ohio and much of the country. Frozen pipes continue to plague residential plumbing and commercial plumbing due to this Arctic blast. Kitchen plumbing jobs are amassing because kitchen water lines usually run through outside walls and can freeze if not well insulated.
Roto-Rooter's Columbus, Ohio Branch had to purchase additional pipe thawing equipment Friday just to keep up with demand. As frustrating as frozen pipes can be, the real problems will begin when the temperatures rise and frozen pipes start thawing and spewing water. That's when our phones will really start ringing. This type of plumbing repair can be challenging and may require a pro. Tip: Find your main water shut-off valve so you will know how to turn off water if one of your pipes bursts.
