Can you believe we are already in October? The winter months are fast approaching and it’s time to think about all the household jobs that don’t usually get thought about until it’s too late for instance the Heating and Plumbing. Individually, when either of these encounter a problem, it can be a daunting task. However, did you know that in the winter time, if the heater stops working, it can also impact the plumbing?
Not many people understand the connection between these two and in any other time of the year, they wouldn’t impact one another. In the winter, because of what cold weather can do to pipes in the home, the heating becomes that much more important. Here are some things you should know regarding your heating and plumbing.
- Repair any breaks or holes in the pipes to help ensure that the cold temperatures don’t reach the water inside causing it to freeze.
- Insulate pipes in areas where they may be exposed to the weather.
- Letting the water run out of the pipe can keep it moving, making it more difficult for it to freeze over. Allow your outdoor faucets to drip slightly
