Winterizing Your Plumbing: A Crucial Step

For seasonal homeowners, the drop in temperature is the biggest threat to your property. A frozen pipe that bursts can release water for days or weeks before it is discovered, destroying floors, walls, and furniture. Proper winterization is more than just turning off the water; it involves draining the lines, adding antifreeze to traps and toilets to prevent cracking, and insulating vulnerable pipes in unheated areas like garages or crawlspaces. Even if you keep your heat on, a power outage during a blizzard can drop the interior temperature dangerously low. We monitor your home’s temperature and humidity levels remotely and with physical visits to ensure your heating system is doing its job. If the forecast looks grim, we are there to take emergency measures. Don’t let a cold snap turn into a remodeling project.
