Winters can be tough on plumbing. We thaw pipes safely, make necessary frozen pipe repairs, and check for hidden damage so you’re not left with surprise leaks later.
How to Help Prevent Frozen Pipes
Here are a few steps you can take to winterize your plumbing system and prevent frozen pipes.
- Insulate exposed plumbing, especially in basements, crawl spaces, and attics
- Keep a trickle of water running on extremely cold nights
- Open cabinet doors under sinks to let warm air circulate
- Seal drafts near pipes with weatherstripping or caulking
- Disconnect and drain outdoor hoses before winter
