Tallahassee, Fla. – Mr. Rooter of Tallahassee is reminding homeowners this month to be cautious of the changing season. Plumbing in Tallahassee, FL can be much different in the wintertime months than the summertime. It can easily be a task that is forgotten about because it doesn’t get very cold for long in Florida, but it is imperative that homeowners looking to avoid damage to their homes or property properly prepare themselves for the coming cold season.
Water freezing within pipes can lead to bursting pipes. Mr. Rooter advises homeowners to shut off all outdoor faucets. The outdoor faucets may cause cracks even if the water is not running through them. There could be water leftover inside of them which can freeze, expand and crack. Installing frost-free sill cocks can make your water drain from the pipes every single time the knob is turned off on the faucet. Luckily, this can help keep water pipes from freezing as well.
Hoses should be disconnected from the faucet to ensure there is no water left inside running to freeze. It is advised that the water is turned off while out of town. If the pipes do happen to freeze and crack, it will make much less of a mess than if the water was on.
Insulating pipes and adding a heat cable to warn the area up is trusted advice. The insulation does very little to help keep the pipes safe, but the heat cable pairs well with the insulation to keep pipes toasty warm. Insulating garage doors can also keep the unnecessary colder weather out and the warmer weather trapped in to keep the pipes less likely to freeze over. For those who need assistance keeping pipes safe for the winter, contact a plumber in Tallahassee, FL, like Mr. Rooter.
