Don’t Burst A Pipe: Winter & Spring Prevention
Reliable plumbing is essential to protecting your home year-round — especially during seasonal changes.
Winter Cold Plumbing Preparation
- Weather can put serious strain on plumbing systems.
- Key winter steps include insulating exposed pipes in basements, crawl spaces, garages, and exterior walls, disconnecting and draining outdoor hoses, and shutting off exterior water lines when possible.
- Homeowners should also check for leaks before temperatures drop, ensure water heaters are working efficiently, and keep indoor temperatures consistent—even when away—to protect pipes from freezing.
Early Spring Plumbing Maintenance
- As temperatures warm, spring is the ideal time to inspect plumbing for winter-related damage.
- We recommend checking pipes for cracks or leaks, testing outdoor faucets and sprinkler systems, and clearing slow or clogged drains.
- Spring is also the time to inspect sump pumps to prepare for rain and potential flooding, and to evaluate water pressure, which can reveal hidden leaks.
