Winter Is Coming - Prepare Your Home

Water can wreak havoc on your plumbing and heating equipment, so we’ve compiled a list of plumbing and heating tips that will help you prepare your home for the upcoming winter. Follow these tips for a safe and trouble-free season.

Plumbing

Fix Leaks

Check all exposed pipes both indoors and outdoors for leaks. A small leak can turn into a big problem. When the temperature drops water will freeze and expand, damaging the surrounding pipes if this issue isn’t addressed.

Insulate Pipes

Locate any exposed pipes. These could be in your attic, basement, crawl space, and/or garage. You will want to wrap them in insulation foam to keep them from freezing. Pipe wrap is inexpensive, easy to install, and can save you on heating costs.

Sprinkler Systems

Water freezing in your sprinkler system during the winter is common. To prevent this from happening you will need to shut off water supply to your sprinkler system and flush out any water by turning on each valve.

Heating 

Check Your Heating System

Make sure vents aren’t covered or blocked by furniture, curtains, or carpeting. Make an appointment with your heating specialist to make sure everything is working properly.

Prepare Your Water Heater

Drain your water heater and clear any debris that may have settled on the bottom. Make an appointment with your plumbing specialist to make sure everything is working correctly.

If you live in extremely cold climates, you will want to follow these tips to ensure a smooth Winter.
