As temperatures drop across Dayton, Cincinnati, and Southwest Ohio, homeowners should prepare their plumbing before winter arrives.
Frozen pipes can burst, causing costly water damage. Fortunately, a few preventive steps can help protect your home.
At All-Side Roofing & Restoration, we’re sharing seasonal maintenance tips and spotlighting local professionals who help keep our communities protected.
5 Ways to Prevent Frozen Pipes This Winter
- Disconnect Garden Hoses
Remove hoses from outdoor faucets, drain remaining water, and store them indoors to prevent trapped water from freezing.
- Shut Off Exterior Water Lines
If your home has dedicated shutoff valves, turn them off and drain outdoor lines according to your plumbing system’s instructions.
- Insulate Exposed Pipes
Protect vulnerable pipes in garages, crawlspaces, and unheated basements with appropriate pipe insulation.
- Cover Outdoor Faucets
Insulated faucet covers can provide additional protection against freezing temperatures.
- Winterize Sprinkler Systems
Have irrigation systems professionally winterized before freezing weather arrives.
