Pipe Valve Repair Services in Boston

Piping and valves comprise a home’s plumbing system, and while pipes are normally quite reliable, when one bursts that can obviously lead to a huge problem. Likewise, while the valves that stop the flow of water are reliable as well, they need to be properly maintained to ensure they continue to function. At Cranney Home Services, we have provided pipe and valve repair services in Boston for more than 30 years. Whether you need an emergency repair or routine valve maintenance, we have the experience and expertise to handle it all.

Burst Pipe Emergency Plan

If you experience a burst pipe, there are some steps that you can take to keep damage to a minimum.

• Determine the source of the water supply to the leaking pipe and immediately shut it off. If you are unable to locate that particular supply, find your home’s main water supply and shut it off.
• Turn off your water heater.
• Turn on the hot water taps to help drain the system.
• Shut off your power if the leaking pipe is near any electrical appliances to eliminate the chance of electrocution.
• If you can find the hole from where water is escaping, seal it with some gapless tape and apply pressure by attaching a piece of rubber.
• Call Cranney Home Services immediately so we can dispatch someone to your home as fast as possible.

Reducing the Risk of a Pipe Emergency

There are also some things you can do to help reduce the chances of a pipe bursting.

• Open your loft trap door to introduce heat when the weather is cold.
• Insulate your water supply pipes.
• Shut your water off and drain all the water from your pipes if you are leaving your home for more than a week.
• Find your main shut-off valve and label it in case you need to act quickly.

Valve Repair Service

Your plumbing valves are located throughout your water system. You can find them under your sinks, near your water heater, dishwasher and clothes washer, and behind your toilets. On your main water line there is a valve that allows you to shut off your home’s water supply.

Different valves are built in different ways and used for various functions. Like anything else mechanical, however, valves can fail due to the corrosive nature of water. At Cranney Home Services we repair and replace all types of valves, and we can add valves to your home if you would like.
