Have questions about plumbing in West Cambridge? We have answers.
To prevent frozen pipes in West Cambridge, insulate exposed pipes in unheated areas like garages, crawl spaces, and attics. Keep cabinet doors under sinks open during cold snaps. Let faucets drip slightly during freezing temperatures. If a pipe does freeze, call Magnet Plumbing immediately rather than attempting to thaw it yourself to avoid a burst.
Chemical drain cleaners can damage older pipes in West Cambridge homes, especially PVC, brass, or aging galvanized plumbing. The caustic chemicals can eat through pipe walls over time and are hazardous if they splash on skin or eyes. A professional drain cleaning by Magnet Plumbing is safer, more effective, and prevents pipe damage — costing less in the long run.
