Winter Outdoor Faucet Protection<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
The top three ways to protect your outdoor faucets from freezing over in winter weather are to cover them up, turn off the water that runs directly to the spigot, and install freeze-resistant hose bib spigots. You can choose the use one of these methods, or a combination of them, to find the best winter plumbing maintenance solution for your property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2776 Main Water Shut Off<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Your first option for preventing outdoor frozen faucets in\nwinter is to simply cut off the water supply line that runs to the particular\nfaucet, however, this is not always possible unless the property has multiple\nmain water shut offs. In most homes, there is only one main water shut off for\nall water lines, so in most cases, you cannot choose this option if there are\noccupants within the home. For some buildings, such as apartment buildings, there\nmight be multiple main water shut offs, in which case, it could be possible to\npick and choose which faucets to turn off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2777 Spigot Covers<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Spigot covers are one of the most common and widely used\nmethods of protecting outdoor plumbing and faucets from freezing temperatures\nin the winter. Stay away from outdated and ineffective methods your Granddad\nmight encourage, such as using newspaper, old towels, and garbage bags. Instead,\nshop around for some foam-insulated nylon hose bib covers at your local home\nimprovement or garden store. We recommend the Duck Brand<\/a> spigot covers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you really want a long-term, \u201cset it and forget it\u201d type of approach, you might consider installing brand new, frost-proof, freeze-resistant hose bib spigots. These can be found at your local home improvement store, and range in price from $9 to $35, depending on the brand. We recommend ZORO SELECT\u00ae Anti-Siphon, Frost Proof Sillcock, available at Home Depot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Call Weilhammer Plumbing Co.
