When I use to live up North in Canada (-45 below) we would put "Red Devil" into the pipes before leaving to go on holidays. This stops the pipes from freezing. When we got back to the trailer we would flush out the pipes by leave faucets running for approx. a 1/2 hour. I now live in B.C. and although fairly warm winters we have had a few nasty ones (just had a cold winter) and I take a hair dryer and heat the pipe up. Also if you let hot water from a kettle run through (a little at a time) it loosens things up.

What is the purpose of plumbing?

The Plumbing system with your house has the role of transporting the water in the water supply system or the hot water from the heating system into your home. It is a set of well connected pipes and heating bodies that play the key role in heating up your home. I hope this helps. Bibika


How does water pressure on the ground floor compare with water pressure on the second floor?

Should be the same, when your home was originally built, it was pressure tested (without water). This assures that there is no leaks in the entire home, if the plumber knew what he/she was doing they designed the system to have the larger dimension pipes closer to the water meter and if designed correctly the furthest pipes from the water meter are the smallest dimension pipes in the house. This assures that when valves are opened in different parts of the house there is a greater likelihood of a maintained service pressure. Of course if you open a downstairs faucet (say a kitchen sink) and are doing laundry (in the basement) and then try to take a shower in an upstairs bathroom you will notice a drop in pressure.

How do you get rid of air in your pipes?

Well if you just carry on as normal and let the water run eventually all the air should come out. That's what i did and it work. It took about 2 days but i didn't have much air in my pipes. It can be difficult. Most homes in the US are required to have a device that prevents air hammers, which risk shaking pipes loose and cause flooding. One thing that may help is to turn off all the water in the house and opening the very top valve in the highest place in the home.

Should I insulate my water lines?

Insulating the water lines in your home can save you money and trouble. Water can collect in your pipes. In the winter this can be especially troublesome as the pipe could freeze. If this happens, the force of the water expanding during freezing can cause your pipes to break. Insulating the pipes can help avoid this from happening.
