September is National Preparedness Month, and cold weather is hard on plumbing. Pipes contract, pressure builds, and small problems you ignored all summer tend to show up at the worst possible moment. A few things worth handling this month:
• Disconnect and drain outdoor hoses, then cover the spigot before the first freeze
• Insulate exposed pipes in crawl spaces, garages, and unheated areas
• Locate and test your main water shutoff valve
• Have your water heater inspected before it takes on colder incoming water
Handle it now and you're far less likely to need us in January. Reach out to schedule an appointment with our team.
