Frozen Pipes and Drain Repairs in London

The snow is finally here! A little late for a white Christmas but London and the South East finally got their blast of the Beast from the East recently. And whilst the snowy weather may be a wonderful distraction from lockdown, closed schools and workplaces, for some the colder temperatures could be expediting problems within their household. One of the most common issues we see during colder temperatures are frozen pipes, cracked pipework, and other such problems which will require drain repairs in London.

In order to avoid your pipes freezing, it is important to ensure you keep your house warm and the heating on - in particular the hot water. By using the system regularly, this will prevent the pipes from getting frozen over. You don’t need to keep it on at full blast, just enough so it ticks over. If your property is vacant, then it may be worth turning the system on every so often, in order to avoid frozen pipes.


If your drainage system already has issues, such as broken pipes or leakages, the freezing weather is unlikely to help the situation. In fact, breakages within the pipes may worsen, leading to bigger problems. During lockdown and even if this extreme weather, Drainsmart are able to operate as we are deemed an essential service.
