Limerick Plumbers Working Flat Out Due To Big Freeze
Plumbers all over Limerick have never been busier due to the ongoing bad weather which caused many water pipes to freeze in Limerick. Hundreds of homes throughout Limerick were left without water for up to a week, and some are still without water, due to frozen and bursting pipes.
The people who have been left without water are being assisted by Limerick city council, who have provided standpipe water points in various parts of the county. One plumber has said the biggest problem is water pipes bursting in the attics of many houses.
See below for a list of tips to prevent pipes freezing or bursting.
1: Switch Off Main Water Supply.
2: Turn Central Heating On Throughout The Day.
3: Regularly Check Pipes For Blockage
