Prevent Pipes from Freezing

When the cold weather approaches, water can freeze quickly inside and leads to burst lines. The result can be disastrous and can cause massive home floods and damage to your property if left unattended. So, wrap the pipes using un-insulated pipes in a blanket of foam tubes. Secure the foam using the duct tapes. 

Fix Leaks

Hire professional plumbing services in Sacramento to check for leaks in faucets and fixtures in the bathroom, kitchen, and more. If you detect any leaks, fix them right away to get your pipes back into working condition and avoid any unexpected plumbing emergencies.

Replace Water Heater

If you live in a region with hard water, scale deposits can clog your home appliances, including water heaters. If left unattended, the rust developed inside your water heater finds its way into your drinking, cooking and bathing water. So, it’s highly recommended to replace your water heater before the cold weather sets in.

Disconnect Garden Hose

To avoid frozen pipes during the winter season, lose the outdoor hose as the cold weather can cause water left inside to freeze and expand, freezing your faucets and connecting pipes as well. This can also save you from hefty repair bills.

Shut-off Valves

Do you have interior shut-off valves that lead to outdoor faucets? Close and drain them off as the water remaining in the lines gets frozen and could cause significant damage.

Clean Your Sump Pump

Inspect and clean your sump pump pit before the cold weather hits because when it gets exposed to extreme cold, your pump can freeze, causing it to stop working. It also causes water to enter your basement and cause flooding during the winter rains. So, choose a reliable plumbing company in Sacramento CA to inspect your pump and close them now to avoid massive flood damage and cleanup bills later.
