Get ahead of cold weather and potential plumbing issues by following these tips from the experts at Rescue Rooter.

If you haven’t already, now is the time to get your home winter ready. Temperatures will soon be below zero for a long stretch and there’s a few steps you can take to be prepared and keep your plumbing running efficiently.



You will want to avoid freezing pipes. This can be done by making sure that that the walls surrounding the pipes are well insulated. This is also the perfect opportunity to check for cracks in the walls of your garage, basement and attic. The use of foam insulation will do the trick in the repair. Your preparations for winter should also include fixing leaky faucets. A plumbing technician from A Rescue Rooter can do that repair for you. An ignored leaky faucet will cost you on your water bill, so it’s best to get it taken care of. Another task that should be done is prepare your outdoor faucets. Don’t forget to disconnect the hose, turn off the water but turn the outside tap to “on” for the winter. (This releases pressure in the pipes.)

If you are a Snowbird, there are a couple of things you should do to protect your home’s plumbing system. Make sure to turn off the water at the main valve and open the taps to drain any water. Call on someone your trust to check on things while you’re away.
