Frozen pipes in Worthing? Here’s how we help.
Frost is less frequent by the sea, so many Worthing pipes have never been lagged. When a cold snap comes, outside taps, loft pipes and boiler condensate pipes are the first to go. We thaw them, check for splits, and protect them properly.
- Frozen pipes thawed with gentle, controlled heat
- Split sections cut out and replaced
- Frozen boiler condensate pipes cleared and re-routed
- Outside taps isolated and protected
- Lagging fitted to loft and garage pipes
Where pipes freeze in Worthing
Worthing sits on the coast, and the sea keeps the town milder than places inland. That is why many homes have little or no lagging. Inland, on the higher ground at High Salvington and Findon Valley, and in villages such as Findon, it gets colder. Pipes there freeze more often.
The most common freeze we see is the boiler condensate pipe. It is the plastic pipe running from the boiler to a drain outside. When it freezes, the boiler locks out and shows a fault code. Thawing it with warm, not boiling, water usually restarts the boiler. We then re-route or insulate it.
Bungalows often have pipes and a tank in the loft. Lofts are colder now that most are well insulated, because the heat no longer rises into them. Pipes above the insulation, rather than under it, are at risk. Outside taps and pipes in garages and utility rooms are the next most common.
Holiday lets, second homes and houses left empty while someone is in hospital or away for winter can freeze without anyone noticing. A split pipe only leaks when it thaws. If you have an empty property in Worthing, keep the heating on low, or ask us to drain it down.
