Address These Plumbing Issues Before Winter Begins
While the first weeks of summer are meant for frolicking and barbecuing, the last few are usually spent planning for the long winter ahead.
Leak Prevention
Whether it’s a major or minor crack, damaged pipes are more likely to freeze and burstin the wintertime, leading to expensive repairs and possible water damage, among other issues. Be sure to find and fix any and all leaks now in order to strengthen your plumbing by the time another harsh winter arrives.
Resolve Clogs & Backups
Because you and your family will be spending much more time indoors during the cooler months, it is imperative that you address any clogs and slow drains before they become worse. Not only will drain cleaningmake your pipes flow better, it can help identify underground leaks and root incursions that will be a lot harder and more expensive to repair in winter, when the ground is frozen.
