Cold Weather Plumbing Tips

• Be aware of which areas of your home (i.e. basement, crawl spaces, unheated rooms, etc.) are most vulnerable to freezing.


• Look for pipes that are not insulated and wrap them with pipe insulation available at hardware stores.


• If there is heat tape on exposed pipes, check to make sure it is still functional. Inspect the tape for cracks.


• Make everyone in the home aware of where the main water shut-off valve is. Check the main shut-off valve to make sure it is working properly.


• Turn off all outside faucets and drain the lines.


• Drain any hoses and air conditioner pipes and check for excess water pooled in equipment.


• Keep the water heater temperature around 120 degrees. Lowering temperature to 120 degress can reduce water costs by 6 to 10 percent.


• Turn off and drain your lawn sprinkler system.


• If you are going away from your home during an extended period of time in the winter, consider having a plumber drain your system. If your furnace stops working there won't be any water in your pipes to freeze.

How to winterize your outside faucets

In many homes there is a separate shutoff in the basement for the outside faucets. If this is the cases shut it off then go outside and turn on all the outside faucets to drain the water. Leave all the outside faucets on and go back and check the outside shutoff valve for a plug or cap on the valve. Turn this cap so that the water drains from the valve. Tighten the cap and turn off all the outside faucets.
Call or e-mail us to set an appointment for us to winterize your outside faucets.>>
