Here at MP Plumbing we like to give you the customer some helpful tips that we think can prevent problems from arising.
One of the first things we recommend is to go ahead and have us out for an inspection. We can take a look at your situation and make a few suggestions or changes. Another thing we suggest is a pretty easy method to remember to winterize. A good rule of thumb is when you Fall back, Winterize. Then when you spring forward, de-winterize. By using daylight savings time as a reference you can make it easier to remember to be prepared.
Some things you can do to be prepared
- Call us out to inspect.
- Shut off valves to hose bib and drain the lines.
- Hose bib doesn't have a shut off? Give us a call.
- Disconnect hoses.
- Open up the cabinets and turn the temperature up.
- Shut off and drain down irrigation systems.
- Cover up crawl space vents.
- Make sure pipes are properly insulated.
