Plumbing Maintenance Tips
As the weather begins to cool off, now is the time to establish some good plumbing habits to protect your home. A few simple plumbing preparations now will prevent headaches and costly repairs throughout the winter months. Here are some Plumbing Maintenance Tips to help you be prepared!
Fall and Winter Plumbing Tips for Outside your
House
·
Keep
gutters free from leaves and debris: If your gutters get clogged it
can create drainage problems. Rainwater
can overflow over the gutters and land on the ground around your house. It’s then more likely to seep into your foundation,
basement or crawlspace and cause issues for you.
·
Unhook
outdoor hoses: Drain and store hoses in an area that does
not go below freezing temperatures. If
left connected, water in hoses can freeze and expand causing faucets and
connecting popes inside your home to freeze and break.
·
Get your
sewer line cleaned and snaked: This is an item not often thought about but
it’s best to be proactive and keep the system running the way it was designed
to do. Get those pesky roots out of
there as they won’t be growing much in the winter.
