🚰❄️ Winter Reminder for Our Residents! ❄️🚰

As the temperatures start to drop, don’t forget to turn off your outdoor water spigot and remove your garden hose! If you leave it connected, the water can freeze and cause your pipes or spigot to burst — a costly and messy problem no one wants to deal with in the middle of winter.

It’s also a great idea to cover your faucet for extra protection against the cold.

🧤 A few minutes of prep now can save you a big headache (and repair bill) later! Stay warm and winter-ready!

Why Now is the Time to Check Your Heat Tape: Avoid Costly Winter Surprises

As the temperatures begin to drop and winter inches closer, now is the perfect time to check your heat tape. It might not be freezing just yet, but waiting until the cold hits could cost you time, money, and a whole lot of frustration. A simple check now could prevent frozen pipes, damaged water meters, and emergency repair calls in the middle of a snowstorm.

What is Heat Tape, and Why Is It Important?

Heat tape (also known as heat cable) is an essential tool used to keep exposed pipes, especially those leading to outdoor water risers or meters, from freezing in cold weather. When functioning correctly, it gently warms pipes to prevent ice blockages or bursts. But if your heat tape has failed or is not operating properly, the protection you think you have may not be there when you need it most.

What Could Go Wrong?

Several things can go wrong with heat tape over time, even if it seems like everything is working fine:

It may be unplugged. Sometimes cords get accidentally disconnected during the summer months when no one is thinking about freezing pipes.

The GFI outlet could be tripped. Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) outlets are sensitive and can trip without warning—cutting power to your heat tape.

The tape itself may have failed. Over time, heat tape can wear out and stop working entirely without obvious signs.

Animals may have disturbed the area. It’s not uncommon for animals to uncover or move insulation around your water riser, leaving your pipes exposed to the cold.

Why Check It Now?

Because it’s easier, cheaper, and less stressful. Catching issues in the fall gives you time to make repairs or replacements before freezing temperatures arrive. Waiting until your pipes freeze could mean:

Days without water

Expensive emergency repairs

The possibility of a damaged water meter, which you are responsible for replacing. Current replacement cost? Up to $350.00.

Common Myths About Heat Tape

There are a few dangerous misconceptions that can lead to complacency:

“I haven’t had any problems in 10 years—so my heat tape must still be fine.”
Heat tape can wear out silently. Just because you’ve been lucky so far doesn’t mean you’ll stay lucky this winter.

“My cold water is warm, so my heat tape must be working.”
Not necessarily. In many homes, water lines run near heat ducts. When your furnace kicks on in the fall, it can warm the water lines. This warmth has nothing to do with your heat tape functioning correctly.

Final Thought: Winter Is Coming—Like It or Not

Now is the time to make sure your heat tape is plugged in, your GFI outlet is active, your lines are properly insulated, and your tape is actually warming as it should. A 15-minute check now could save you hundreds of dollars and major inconvenience later.

Don't wait for freezing temps to find out something's wrong—check your heat tape today.
