Frozen or Cracked Tubing
When the Loop Freezes or Fails
Frozen or cracked tubing is a serious problem for heated driveways in Grand Rapids. If the system loses heat, loses power, or the fluid is wrong, water in the lines can freeze and expand, cracking the tubing and embedding a leak under the driveway surface.
This requires locating the break and repairing or replacing the affected section.
