Interior Water Shut Off Valve<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
Every year, as soon as temperatures drop below 40 degrees\nFahrenheit, it is wise to turn your inside water shut off valve to vertical to\nstop the outside drains from letting water flow through your pipes all winter. If\nyou do not do this, water will continue to flow throughout the season, and thus\npose the risk of frozen or burst plumbing pipes. It is important to flush out\nany leftover water in your irrigation lines and plumbing pipes once you are done\nusing them for the season; otherwise, they can freeze up and lead to massive\nplumbing repairs and problems, overtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Outdoor Faucets and Hoses<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
After you have secured your interior water valve in a safe position for the season, implement an inspection of your outdoor faucets and spigots. Outdoor spigots, like irrigation lines, are more prone to collecting excess water. As a result, this excess water can freeze, and cause a water pressure to build up and damage pipes. See our blog, \u201cTop 3 Ways to Prevent Frozen Outdoor Faucets<\/a>\u201d to learn how to get started. Accordingly, it is wise to organize and hang up all of your outdoor garden hoses. Water can also freeze within hoses, which can lead to rupturing come spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another consideration that is commonly overlooked as an\narea-of-focus for winter home maintenance preparation are gutter systems. Gutters\ncan fill up with garbage and debris, which in turn collect and retain more water,\nand eventually freeze and thaw. All of this is bad for your house as it can\ncause cracking, warping, and water leaks. It is important to clean out your\ngutters and your downspouts before the winter season takes full effect.\nOtherwise, you may face several costly and invasive plumbing repairs once\nspringtime is here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Call Weilhammer Plumbing Co.
