Every winter millions of plumbing pipes freeze and bust due to
improper installation or even not having the required protection. Pipes that
are exposed to on the outside of your home need to be insulated with pipe
insulation and then sealed along all the seams with tape to prevent wind from
blowing in and damage due to exposure. There are a few options available so it
is always a great idea to call the plumbing professionals at Water Source
Plumbing Service. We can schedule an inspection on your home’s plumbing system
which includes these pipes.
One of the most common things people do is leave there outside
garden hose attached to the outdoor hose bib. When winter arrives the garden
hose freezes. Guess what else freezes? The spigot. There are ways to make sure
you don’t have this problem. The first way is simple. Remove your garden hose
before it starts to freeze. The second thing you should do if you do not have
isolation valves installed already is to have a licensed plumber install
isolation valves in the basement or crawl space. Find out more about isolation
valves in our next blog.
Your plumbing system is the MOST important system in your home.
It is very important to remember that it is OKAY to hire a professional when
you need them. It is also a very good idea to make sure that they are licensed and
carry the proper insurance and have a good track record with their clients.
