Homeowners Fall Plumbing “To Do” List

Nancy — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 15:11:50 +0000

This time of year it is pertinent that homeowners do a few things to help their plumbing make it through the fall and winter seasons. Here is a checklist from the PPC and Andrew Jonathon at Flat Rate Plumbing:

If you have frost-proof lawn faucets they should be turned off and drained before freezing begins outside. Turn off the 1/2″ valve (inside the home) that serves the lawn faucet. Then, turn the faucet on outside to relieve any extra water that may be sitting in the faucet and/or piping.

If you have pipes that run along an outside wall and have a faucet with a history of freezing on you during the winter months, leave the cabinet door ajar below the sink.

Clear all down spouts of any leaves or other debris so water and any snow melt can flow freely.
